enix2093 | 8 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Pics: https://imgur.com/a/wi2KTpM Additional shots because I've got really shaky hands: https://imgur.com/a/7rsEsNV Just got this off ebay and something feels just a little off to me about how glossy the label is and how dark the colors are. Minor internet sleuthing led to another at least 2 people who had a similar label which makes me think its possibly not a repro label, because when it comes to repro labels these would have had to all come from the same source and somehow be the same quality....but I'm still not confident: https://forum.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?144893-A-Link-to-the-Past-Label https://www.reddit.com/r/snes/comments/74q4oz/does_this_look_authentic_to_you/ Edited April 21, 2020 by enix2093 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin532 | 467 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Looks real to me. It has the roller mark which repro labels don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little bend in the middle that can be seen under light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin532 | 467 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Yup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enix2093 | 8 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Well that's good to know. I assumed that bend was from someone putting the label on manually and not smoothing it down properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enix2093 | 8 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 If anyone cares I also got some good clean shots of the label where my camera likes to blur: Additional pics: https://imgur.com/a/v5tSg97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enix2093 | 8 Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 And a side-by-side of a picture someone else took of their LttP cart for me that I copied the angle on. I would wager to say they are exactly the same with the big difference being the dark gold outline around the text...and the dark gold has a sparkle to it - something I'm not sure a label bootlegger would go our of their way to do (?) for like a $3 label. The only other very minor inconsistency between these portions of the label is my SNS-ZL-USA is a bit thinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sign Collector Guy | 334 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Does the seal of quality have an iridescent effect? Does it lighten and darken when slowly tilted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enix2093 | 8 Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Yeah, all of the gold bits have the expected sheen to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,690 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Looks legit to me. If not, it's so good that I wouldn't bother worrying about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
