I see I'm just saying that a legitimate copy is very easy to get online there is no need to be scared about getting a fake one plenty of legit copies around not to mention the game is not that expensive by any means. Also very easy to detect when you ask for certain pictures or from a game dealer you can even ask pics from the inside of the board.
Maybe true, but three main things for me:
1) I simply don't want to go through the effort of asking for extra pictures, or the hassle of opening a dispute if I do get a fake.
2) There are a LOT of retro shops around where I live. So, I have decent odds of getting one in person if I really look for it.
3) There are many, many other games on the ol' want list.
Which all boils down to 'I don't feel like putting forth the effort on it.' I like to bring it up when it's relevant becuase part of me hopes a sealed collector will message me and offer me a replacement copy plus some cash (effectively doing the work for me :p)
Good call on bringing up the imprint, though- that's currently one of the best ways to see if a game is authentic or not within the Game Boy lineup. I'm sure someday they'll fake that too, but now it's a great thing to know about.
