It's a printed label applied to the cartridge, made with one of those sticker labels.

i've never seen a confirmed fake before, i don't really pay attention to the fake pokemon trend that seems to come up a lot now-a-days because i'm not big on pokemon. really good to see a fake and then compare it with the real thing in the rfgen database, now i have a better idea what to look for. besides the E being too small i also noticed the registered trademark "R" after Pokemon was offset, and the font size of the words "official seal" in the nintendo seal is too big. and ya just a general blurriness to everything.

Its pretty easy to fake GBA carts especially. Pokemon takes the brunt of the blow because its such a popular series and the second hand market has been scorching hot since the games released. Now there are so many out there and their design is almost constantly changing. A couple years ago you could just check the board inside the cart and if it said "Nintendo" with the registered sign after it you were good. Then pirates started printing the Nintendo logo on their boards. Now the best way to check is to look at the label, they always make some mistake. The ESRB rating is the first thing you should look at as the kerning of the letter rating is almost always wrong.
There could be legit carts out there that have reprinted labels on them, but I wouldn't buy them. All of this is why I've only bought Pokemon games locally recently so I can inspect them with my eyes and at many different angles before purchase.

I've pointed out numerous fake GBA carts to local sellers and they don't care - they still sell for the same amount, and the customers don't seem to care either as long as the game functions.

They usually don't function for long. Local seller here gives the fakes away and follows the law about them. Legally they can't be sold since they're pirated products. Another reason why I've been buying locally. When I inspect them I know they've already been inspected by somebody who knows what to look for as well.

i think sellers in my area are better about that, i know i've heard some mention to other customers that they can't take a game as trade-in because it's fake

that's beyond sketchy, but the weird thing is the seller has really good feedback.

You will also notice in that lot that he's pictured when showing the insides he's not showing the parts of the board that have the identification like nes-d2-USA or whatever. That sale if someone is dumb enough to buy it will be his downfall and most likely ban from eBay. But that's just my thoughts and speculation.

This one made me laugh:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1...s&hash=item35c0685d23
From the auction:
I have been selling rare & hard-to-find CLASSIC video games with over 25 years of experience! I am NOT just a guy who sells random video games, I am a MASTER video game player & collector. Because of my 30+ years of Nintendo playing experience, I know things that other sellers DO NOT know & you are getting the benefit of my "insider's" experience!
You too can harness his Mastery of over 30 years of playing Nintendo....

Stephen Kick: The thing about classic games was that they were the first for an entire generation. Successive works are going to be important to individuals and even to groups, but never to a whole generation in the same way.
