Tyree_Cooper | 957 Posted November 22, 2024 Share Posted November 22, 2024 (edited) The ESP back sticker is on top of another sticker, but what's under it? It looks like an anti-theft sticker, and on the right, top, there is a further small round blob (this is maybe the stamp code on the bottom sticker). So the back shell was taken from another localisation, but nintendo or the distributor/agent would not put a sticker like that, only a shop would...? Oh, and the ESP sticker at the back has no stamp code, so hmmm must have been applied locally, not in a nintendo factory.

RH | 5,413 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Paging Dr. @JVOSS. I somehow missed this when it was originally posted. I mention JVOSS because I know that these were also found under some copies of KI for the Game Boy, but under the front sticker. I can't recall if JVOSS has a copy with the front label partially pulled off, revealing what this is, or if he was just in another discussion where someone had a copy like that... I think. It was years ago. Anyway, I imagine this is the exact same thing, though the original might have been a Brazilian copy, which wouldn't be PAL. I don't know for sure, but someone with a word label and a GB copy with this sticker might be your best lead to figure out what this is.

Tyree_Cooper | 957 Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 so they put a barcode to mark up/recognise which units they wanted to re-stick for spain? once covered, the barcode was totally useless.
