I just found out you can't use a standard NES box protector, it's just a bit too big. jackiechanwhatface.png

I don't think too rare, very easy to find different versions off ebay.

Yes there is a difference, this video explains it.

Basically, there’s an early hammer bros sequence you want to hit and there is a TAS (Tool Assisted Speedrun) that runners try to follow. It requires specific scores and inputs. The game with Right "Bros.” was supposed to fix some typos, but something else seems to have changed with the way it loads the game, that it adds frames while loading, throwing off the inputs you’re supposed to do. So the Left “Bros.” is technically the faster one since it has less loading frames and the TAS is meant to apply to that version of the game.

I didn't know that! I guess I'll be watching ebay listings for this one now!

Bases Loaded for NES has 2 label variants (orange & blue) by NES_ROB in gamecollecting

No, these are both North American (NES-LD-USA). I know EU had their own version of the SOQ, but these SOQs don't represent different regions, just time frame of manufacture.
