It actually doesn't look very rusty in person. I think my white balance - and lighting in general was a bit off.

I just bought this Astro Boy GBA game hours ago on ebay and after reading about counterfeit games I was sure it's not genuine. Here's the auction image:
I thought it was fake mainly because the label looks a lot different than what google image search produces and also because there is no nintendo seal or logo ... but after doing some research this actually seems to be legit. AGB-BTAJ-JPN checks out to "Astro Boy: Tetsuwan Atom - Atom Heart no Himitsu" for which a google image search actually turns up just that sticker art.
Here is a scan from another site and also the western sticker art for comparison
What gives? I thought all official games needed a "Licensed by Nintendo" and/or the official nintendo seal of quality. Is it different for japanese originals somehow?
I've got a fake Pokemon Silver. Black cart, shiny silver background on the sticker.If I can get an image of the outside of the card (Both front and back) I can profile it.
By the way, does anyone have any other Nintendo fakes, like GBC fakes, NES/SNES fakes or NDS fakes? I'd like to try profiling those as well.
I can see a battery in the top right with a yellow border on it. So yes probably.Can anyone tell me if they think this is fake?View attachment 2036
is the label shiny (hard to see in pic)Can anyone tell me if they think this is fake?View attachment 2036
post pics when they comeI just bought that on eBay like 2 hours ago and that was the picture they had on the listing. Hard to see any major details
Where is it shipped from? If its from Hong Kong or China, then it is most likely fake.I just bought that on eBay like 2 hours ago and that was the picture they had on the listing. Hard to see any major details

Edit: I looked at the picture a bit more and noticed the sticker is not on straight, so yes most likely fake beside the battery part.
I got it in a few days and it turns out it's definitely a fake! Here's a few picspost pics when they come
