Has one of these been found before?
What a weird find. I saw this at a local store today and had to pick it up. Best of all, I traded a game in and used a coupon - only cost me $5.00.
If you look closely enough, you can see that the label is coming off a bit, like the previous owner thought about trying to remove it and fix it. It looks authentic enough to me - if it was a fake, I would think there would be a crease in the label where it would have folded over the top of the cart.
I could swear I've seen one of these on NA before, but I searched and didn't find anything. It would be cool to have the first one, but I doubt I do. Regardless, it's still a sweet find! Thoughts?

Cool find dude!
There isn't always a crease on the end. I have peeled many a label with no crease. The lifting in the corner to me is a dead giveaway that it is a peel and flip.
this.
Scan the label so it's in focus and up close. It might help us to help you.
Upon closer inspection, the label is just barely over the left edge of where the label recession is on the cart itself. By barely I mean like the width of a hair. The reason the corner is so bad at this point is from being loose a bit and then repeatedly put into and removed from the black sleeves. It catches almost every time I put it into the sleeve.
Starting to have my doubts as to its legitimacy.....but you never know.
Just because the label isn't pristine doesn't necessarily mean it's a flip. It very well could be; I'm not denying that at all. It's still unique, fake or not.
and my opinion, it's probably a flip. and label peeling like that (even if it was legit) takes away the only way to show that it's legit
That's what I've been wondering! Why would someone do that and then trade it in at a game store for probably 3-5 dollars? Wouldn't they try to pass it off on eBay or something? Maybe they did and got caught. lol

It doesn't really matter if it's legit or not; it freaking looks ridiculously awesome (and more readable).
Maybe that little area is where the owner was going to flip it, but gave up.
That's what I think. I think they tried to "fix" it, i.e turn in back the way it's supposed to be.
So far, it seems the consensus is that it's a fake. Anyone think it's legit?
I'm not sure about labels but I used to be a magician and theres a method of "splitting cards" which you can remove the back from the face and vice versa and put them back together creating a double back, or a double face card... they come out very nicely and can hardly tell it has been tampered with, so I assume the same can be done to a label, although I also believe factories make mistakes all the time and although there are inspectors probably checking every game everyone has bad days where they can overlook something so simple. so I believe it could be flipped and it could be factory I don't think there is a way to tell.
Yeah, that splitting the deck thing would work.......if the label wasn't stuck to the cartridge with adhesive.
Priceless.
Priceless.
I don't see what is so priceless about this 2 people in my club both got 1st in the Canadian association of Magicians, Junior and Adult, the young one went to Magic Castle to take lessons which cost him about $15,000. Plus people at interviews eat it up. I just stopped because I was sick of constantly doing tricks at parties and stuff even though it was awesome for getting free drinks and other things it sucked when I just wanted to hang out and have a few brew.
