Not really, but feel free to start another post on the matter similar to this one.
Sure thing then (I noticed Pokemon Yellow was on the spreadsheet already, even though that is internally a "black cartridge" game as well).
Frogger has a grand total of FOUR label revisions, the same number as Link's Awakening on GB.
The variants are:
DMG-AFRE-USA (White E rating, Majesco Sales logo) (First)
DMG-AFRE-USA-1 (White E rating, Hasbro Interactive and Konami logos)
DMG-AFRE-USA-2 (Black E rating, Hasbro Interactive logo only) (Error) (this one I do own personally, shown below)
and DMG-AFRE-USA-3 (Black E rating, Hasbro Interactive and Konami logos)
It may be a good idea to log some of these on the spreadsheet in a separate section under the GB ones, just saying.
This copy's ROM chip date is 9942.

Little bit of a question:
Are we doing Game Boy Color (black cartridge) label revisions too? Or is there a separate thread for those? I have here Tetris DX and Wario Land II, both with an updated E rating rerelease.
ROM chip dates:
Tetris DX left: 9936
Tetris DX right: 0003
Wario Land II left: 9851
Wario Land II right: 9948 (latest chipdate overall is the RAM chip with 0007)
EDIT: Other games that were also given this "updated E" treatment are Game & Watch Gallery 2, Link's Awakening DX, Super Mario Bros Deluxe, and Mario Golf. There also exists GBC NFR carts, such as Pokemon Gold/Silver and Wario Land 3.

If you need any of the Zelda's or a rated E SMB/SMB, hit me up. I think I have some duplicates. I'll have to check, but I know I have some of them.
oooo I'd love to have the rated E SML1

It's here!!!
Final verdict: March '98 PCB, 9816 ROM chip date.

Great, great. I'll have to buy one myself then; I found about 5 listings of the -1 revision last night.

Just curious, does anybody have any dates for the Majesco Sales version of Tom & Jerry (DMG-JY-USA-1)?

Nice. it looks like it's a 99?
Nope, it definitely is 9834.

Haven't told you guys this yet, but last week I had ordered a DMG-ZL-USA-3. It's here now and here are the pictures. (Pic of the cart got rotated, but oh well.)
ROM chipdate is 9834, but PCB manufacture date is strangely October 1997...

...then changed to BEAN-02 and lasted until 98 where it moved to the lighter and less voltage requirements of the -10 and then 99 they was changed to the -20.
Actually the -10 revisions started in very late 1996 (November). Likewise, my copy of SML1 (-1, KA) has a BEAN-10 from January 1997.

KA SML1 (DMG-ML-USA-1) but with a BEAN-20 board and a ROM chip date of 9936...?
There were actually two more of these I spotted last night. Another 9936 and then a 9935. Not to mention the KA SML2 I found as well with a date of 9924...

Just ordered myself a DMG-VU-USA-2 and a DMG-TR-USA-2! I'll check out the chipcode dates with you guys when they come.
And now (a bit scuffed up) DMG-VU-USA-2 is here!
Chipcode date is 9835 (late August 98), and the PCB manufacture date is ALSO dated August 1998.

Also of note was that I had also found a Japanese copy of Kirby's Dream Land 2 with a chipcode of 0236. https://www.ebay.com/itm/184918970508?hash=item2b0e07908c:g:Ef8AAOSwM1Rg3-4f
As well as a DMG-YT-USA-1 (Donkey Kong Land 1, Rated KA) that had a chipcode of... 9934? https://www.ebay.com/itm/184909004290?epid=2279&hash=item2b0d6f7e02:g:YxMAAOSwbldg2NnR
UPDATE: And some more.
Adding onto the EXTREMELY late non-US releases, we have this copy of WL:SML3 from 2002! https://www.ebay.com/itm/324551602164?epid=1364&hash=item4b90c86ff4:g:X~IAAOSw321eEy2Z
"Mario Land 3 4028" is the selection to make, as that cart has DMG-WJ-EUR-2.

Earlier today I happened to come across a Japanese copy of SML2, and the chipcode was 0144 and the battery had 01-10 (October 2001)?

HERE is the Motocross Maniacs board. its birthday is part of the 98 reprints.
This is a matte finish label.
9826? Is it using one of those mythical "DMG-AAA-10" PCBs that were typically only used with prints of Dr. Mario and Tennis since 1997?

One thing I've always noticed is that most of the DMG-BEAN(K)-02 boards are manufactured in November 1995, and then attached to them is a ROM chip with a year of 1996 (and with the letters in the circle usually being Hs). Sometimes they manufacture it in 1995, and sometimes 1996, but most of the time when it's manufactured in 1995, it's November. How come?

New Find to be discussed as to if an error or a variant.
The Yoshi catalog code DMG-YO-USA.
while look at the labels for the 2 player link logo i can across Yoshi that had a translucent outer edge of the game pac logo. at first i thought this was normal but after look around the later prints have a non translucent boarder.
i was thinking this might just be a play on the lighting. so had to order one. it arrived yesterday and it is confirmed that the one i received is no longer translucent..
as for images.
Looks like I have the "Transparent Game Link Icon" variant of the cart. Pretty interesting.

Was there ever an alternate variant (not the 2 players choice variants) of DMG-ML-USA? The only variant I could find of the original revision was this here (shown below). I was wondering if they ever made a variant where both the gamecode and the "MADE IN JAPAN" text are on the left side of the cartridge. They did it for other regions (UKV variant shown below), but I don't know if the USA region had something like that.

Back sides of each board (did not have space to put them with their respective games). Top is JB007, bottom is "Dr. Wily's".
