Also, just to throw this out there, there is no such thing as a PAL Gameboy game, PAL and NTSC refer to televisions, not regions, and therefore don't apply to handheld games.

I think that always being on eBay or Amazon doesn't necessary mean that the item is not rare. That's just a marketplace through which rare items can be exchanged by anyone from anywhere. Try to go out on the town and find a "rare" game, or the next town over, or the next town over. It won't happen, because it's rare. A lot of games are pretty rare. If your local retro shop only has one copy, or often times has none. It's probably a rare item technically speaking.

Ofcourse not. It's rare but not ultra rare never implied that it is more rare than a one of a kind item. However if you think it is common than prove it to me by finding a cib european listing of this game. Even in bad condition you will not find one.

Besides allot of collectors use the word pal for european released games for handhelds and for consoles. Ofcourse pal also stands for the televisions in the different regions but in collecting aspects people use the word pal or ntc for games wich includes gameboy games.

Also if this does not apply for gameboy games as you, than why do people actually use the word pal to say that the game is from europe? Especially for collectors pretty important to know since in allot of cases the Pal version has more value aside from collectors who want their region version of a game.

^ But Game Boys are region-free...so why pay more for a European copy when a U.S. copy will do just as good, and is still in full English?
