    love the Boxxle photo what region was that.  pic is of a pal osq... only USA has the R,  now the CANADA is interesting as they use TM*  for something i don't know yet....  you did have a tm OSQ on

    Opps the boxxle is ukv. Don't Know how that slipped in

     

    My golf looks like a tm.  Hard to say for sure though when I zoom I'm further it just looks like a blob

    Oh, I miss understood.  I think we have a black/blue vs white/gold dress situation going on here.  I didn't want to say anything because at a glance I thought they were suppose to be the same cartridge and I knew the second was fake.  But now that I understand, I think the first image is a black cartridge but with a bright light that's making the plastic glare and giving it a grayish tone.

    Haha you may be right. That would be kind of a bummer

    the lower pic is a fake the code DNKG is used by a group out of china. 

    I was just providing that picture because it was the only example of a reproduction label that I could find.  I was trying to determine if there are reproduction labels out there for sale that match closer to the one I purchased to see if someone had just placed it on a gray cartridge at some point but I could not find anything closer.

     

    To be more clear..

    The cartridge that I have has what seems to be an authentic label of pocket bomberman.

    This label was only officially released in the US on gameboy color (black cartridge)

    Is the label a reproduction?

    Is the label transfered from a black cartridge using a heat gun?

    Is the label a legitimate error?

    Pocket bomberman is the same game as bomberman GB but was resold on the gameboy color. There seems to be a EUR gray and black cart version of pocket bomberman. Curious what the rom differences are to determine which rom is on the cartridge that I have

    Check this out. I picked this up today. I know the chances are low that this is legitimate but I wanted to get it anyways because it's either a really good label transfer which usually easy to spot, a reproduction label, or some bizarre error that is legitimate. 

    I tried finding some label reproductions and was able to find some on etsy.. but they are different and very easy to tell that it's a reproduction. I've included that picture for comparison. This label also has the numbers stamped on the front. I've never seen that reproduced but I suppose it could be. Have you guys seen the stamped numbers reproduced? That's why I was thinking someone just took the label off the gameboy color black cartridge and put it on the gray cart. That would be a very weird thing to do and also you can usually tell that someone did this because the process is not easy/perfect.

    I'll have to wait until it show up to check the board. Is any one familiar with the rom differences between the US gray release of bomberman gb, the US black of bomberman pocket , and the eur gray and black release  of bomberman pocket?

    I trust you guys won't back door me on this one, but I have been shocked how long it's taken me to find a Raging Fighter, rev-1.  I've had this eBay search open for 2-3 years and I don't think I've ever seen this game for sale.  Maybe there was one that slipped by early on when I saved the search and it was in a poor condition so I didn't want it.  If I had known it'd take me this long to finally see one, I would have waited but this seems to be in great shape, so I won't complain.  I'm glad to finally knock this off the list.

    Anyway, I know some of you guys already have a copy of this variant.  How did you get yours?  Do you recall finding it in the wild or buying it off of eBay?  Any chance it was from Canada?  I feel like this isn't the first hard-to-find GB variant that I've had to simply bite-the-bullet and buy from Canada.  The game was reasonably priced but of course, shipping was harsh because that's the facts when shipping from their to the US.  My guess is that some of these less common variants were part of Canadian distribution and Canada just happened to get some later prints and within the time of making the US batches for sale, they made minor changes to the labels and only Canada got some of them.  Does that sound legit to you guys, or are you not so sure.

    Anyway, here's the link to the BIN on eBay.  $9.99CAD is more than reasonable.  The $12.00 shipping, however, felt like high way robbery (by the post office, no the seller.)

    There were a few rev -1 that I only found in Canada, including this one.  Definitely seems reasonable that they were only sold there.

    Please consider pulling this listing and passing us 2-3 here a list of your variants (non Rev-0s)

    I said I gave up but that wasn't true.  I wanted to give up but I keep looking for some rare variants.

    I would definitely like to buy some of these variants I'm missing.

    Here's what I've been using to track. It includes all the variants that I have. I definitely rather sell to people that have been on the lookout for these. I am not going to pull the eBay listing down at this time because if someone does make a decent offer there I would also like them all gone at once. Although, the offers I have been getting there have all been in the 5k range from obvious resellers and I am in no rush to dump these out to people that don't realize the rarity.

    Willing to go $14,000 OBO through paypal or split up and sell separate chunks.  I'm not really willing to do 1 offs at this point in time.

    I have my DMG variant set listed for sale. I'm only missing a handful of variants/original releases but I got bored with trying to find the last few.

    Right now I have everything in my DMG set for sale together but if your interested In a big enough chuck I may be willing to break things up considering I'd rather these go to another collector and also not having to deal with eBay is a bonus. Just let me know.

    From what I understand there are now 5 label variants:

    1) 3-line Game Link logo

    2) 2-line Game Link logo with no letter A in stamped code

    3) 2-line Game Link logo with letter A in stamped code

    4) Player's Choice

    5) Best Buy rated E

     

    I think the 2nd one is the newly discovered variant.

    Oh okay. Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't realize we were counting the stamp differences now.
