I'm not interested in long term value/resale, so it matters more to me that it looks good than it's original --- End quote --- Before doing that, I'd recommend a little patience, and try to find a broken copy with a decent shell. For example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Contra-Hard-Corps-Sega-Genesis-1994-defective-game-doesnt-work-/182555894330?hash=item2a812de23a:g:qxAAAOSww9xZCAYL Actually after looking at that listing, I would be willing to guess that the pins just need to be cleaned. --- End quote --- Or at the very least, leave the game as is until you find a better looking copy. If you ever find a better copy, sell the one with the bad level. --- End quote --- I agree with this. In my opinion, if it's a game that's going to be on display (as in the label will be fully showing), then it is likely one of your favorite or most treasured games; in that case, you invest in a nicer copy. But if it's just going to be on a shelf, then the label won't be showing, so the condition is less important. Either way, a genuine label has heart; a reproduction doesn't. The label, although worn, shows the history of the game. I don't want this to start an argument on the merits of reproduction labels, but that's just my two cents. |

Guys, you're making this too complicated. Get a replacement label, put it on a replacement shell, keep old shell since it's a crime to removal a beat to snot original. Done. |

And that's why I like coming here. Never considered most of those ideas. I've only actually "replaced" one label, and it was TMNT 2 on NES, because the label had already been almost completely peeled off. You couldn't tell what the game was unless you looked at the spine. I'll probably try to either get a 2nd shell and put the label on it, or I really like the idea of finding a 'broken' game, especially since I don't have a case for it |
