I was going through my GB games the other day and came across 3 that didn't have the Nintendo seal on them. I have looked for pictures of these carts online and they don't seem to have the seal either. At least the pics I found. They all do however have an imprinted number on the label and the boards inside all are Nintendo branded with a date on the back side of the board. Anyone know if these are legit? Why no Nintendo seal on the label?

That just means that there was a time when Nintendo had not yet standardized the labels until later. Given the photos, these are original PCBs. Even if they were missing the imprinted factory number, it could be assumed only the cartridge and label are counterfeit.
