I am cleaning up an old gameboy color that has a half torn off rear label. I did some searching and came up with this on ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Full-Housing-Shell-for-Nintendo-Gameboy-Color-GBC-OEM-Repair-Part-ClearWhite-/181137041790

I would love to find a place to get just that replacement label. Does anyone have any scans of that label, or for that matter, any of the console labels? I'd be willing to buy one if someone knows of a place that even has them for sale. Otherwise I'll try my hand at printing one out with a label maker.

Funny how the guy uses "OEM" on the title.

I have sg feeling GBC back label has been done... I'll search for it, but no promises.

I'm thinking maybe I'll just buy it in the name of science to see how good the label looks. If it looks alright, I can scan it while it's still flat if anyone else has any use for it.

Well  the price is not too bad if you need the other stuff, but if not we can do that label easily.

We just need exact size and good picture of the text.

I did em, but it's not something I ever shared as I use them for my business PLUS they've all been tweaked to include QR codes and the RCG logo, so they aren't exactly perfect replicas.

Also did the GBA, GBA SP, Wonderswan, Wonderswan Color, Wonderswan Crystal, Nomad, and I think a couple others that we've not yet used.

Here's one I tossed together. Should be close to exact, used my own GBC for reference.

No the label I was thinking predates your exsistence here. ;)

I read your post wrong.

I read it saying that you did and showed the the labels, hence the reply that what I remember was before the time you came here.

I wish there was a glass replacement for the GBC Lens...or any other portable for that matter...those Chinese plastic lenses for any portable are way too soft!
