how to spot a fake GBA box /manual

XedXed
in Collector's Corner
i just got 4 gba games.. that are 100% unfolded and are "fresh" from the factory so it seems
but the manuals are really really thin and i'm not sure they are supposed to be like this

the games:
super mario advance 2
super mario advance 3
super mario advance 4
mario kart super circuit

can anyone confirm that the manuals of these games only contain like 6 pages?

if they are real.. is there any extra value in factory fresh gba games?

    Sounds to me like you got some bootleg pirate games. Check the boxes, particularly the Seal Of Quality and/or ESRB rating part. I bet the text looks fuzzy. I'm betting you got some pirate (fake) boxes manuals and carts.

    I can confirm that they're 6 or so pages of what seems to be random text/review from who knows where... probably IGN :-)

    I bought some directly from a pirate outlet years back....

    GBA has a REALLy big problem with this. The carts are easy to figure out upon closer inspection as the molding is different. I haven't got any boot GBA boxes myself, but I'd steer clear of anything new with an unfolded box.

    yeah didn't expect them to come like this since they were normal on the photos ..



    allready contacted the seller to refund me.. but its not ebay so i'm not expecting much image
