    That MM box is a pretty good repro. If you have to stare at a box for more than 10 seconds, it's a good knock off. The off colors with SMRPG are more obvious.
    The two trays are usually called Center Tray and Upper Tray by collectors.

    Nice video, I'm starting to collect N64 CIB and GBA CIB so this helped :)

    Damn you’re getting way too much hate in the comments. I just started collecting snes cib got a star fox cib off ebay. The box just feels too shiny but I’m not sure. It came with all inserts. But my tetris attack box has duller paper. Feels so difficult to know.

    all those are fakes?
    The colors fade over time and it is difficult to judge whether a box is repro or not whether to use as an argument that "x" letters are whiter.

    This honestly was not helpful whatsoever “here is the fake one, you cannot see it on the camera, but you can see it in person”

      The nintendo seal of quality is shiny under a flash light. But it's only at a certain angle.

      It can be hard to see fakes over camera. There's a good reason why people get scammed all the time. I wanted to mostly talk more about what to look out for instead of necessarily being able to present a fake at face value. This majoras mask is a really good fake! If it wasn't for some knowledge such as the seal of quality and using the barcode scanner to see it's a different game I wouldn't be the wiser tbh.

      I'm pretty new to video making. I definetly go more into the point in my other videos. I can totally understand that you may be looking for this video to just simply use as a quick guide as you're buying something on the spot, and my ramblings were sort of unessary and annoying. My biggest point was to point out tips as all repos vary in level of quality. There's some super obvious fakes, just like there are repos that look very good. I recommend doing your research and using tools such as [etc...]

      I may even plan to just simply release a more on the point video in the future. I appreciate the feedback.
