brodee922 | 0 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Hello all! I recently bought 2 separate Link's awakening Gameboy boxes - the player's choice variant. They were from 2 different sellers, but both were highly reviewed. The 2 boxes looked pretty similar in the pictures, but now seeing them in person I can see several distinct differences. I've listed the differences below, and I was hoping someone with more knowledge could help me determine if this is a case of 2 legit box variants or if one of these boxes is a non-authentic reproduction? DIFFERENCES: -Right side box has a greener overall color tint -Left side box has a more golden overall color tint -Right side box has "GAMEBOY" on the front in much darker letters with deeper shadows -Left side box has lighter "GAMEBOY" that has a silver tint and less shadow -Right side box has fine print bolded (such as the Official Seal disclaimer on the back of the box) -Left side box fine print is not bolded -Right side box came with a game tray -Left side box came with an insert and manual -Right side box has more color scraping away around the corners.- Left side box is holding its color better -Right side box has date code of 961209 in dark lettering -Left side box has date code of 970530 in faded lettering If someone could help me determine if one of these boxes is a reproduction and which one it is, I would greatly appreciate it.
