I'm with you on this. The contra pictures on the right had enough label on it for me to know it was contra. Getting a replacement was necessary and cheap.

With disc cases I give a little more leadway. I'm guilty of printing new case labels for DS games. You can still go online and buy empty Wii and DS cases then print up new labels and slide 'em in. This is ideal for me so I can display every DS/3DS game I own. Edit: especially with 2nd hand games were ppl have thrown away the cases.

I think if someone tries to sell a game with a photocopied label/cover while passing it off as original, I would be pissed. For me, it's more about "dressing up" games I already own. I've gotten good games at dirt cheap prices where the cover art may be damaged from water. I would personally be more content if I had "pristine" art.

I definitely have a few labels I plan to replace eventually. I'm getting pretty big into the repro of beat up / missing items in my own collection.

I would ask if you could tell which of these boxes are not original. You would think condition might give it away, but there's another small detail that actually tells it.

soera:
If I were going to guess, Id say Lolo 2 cause the inside of the box looks white.

That's one correct answer. The white inside is the tell I was referring to. There are still two others that aren't original either, though. :P

My guess is Adventure Island.
