NES Metroid Box Misprint. Anyone seen one of these?

Hi everyone, long time lurker, first time poster. I've picked up a lot of good info here over the years, so thank you all for your efforts. I've been collecting for quite a while, and my interests are broad, but the oddball items have always been my favorite. When this popped up on a local page via someone's Goodwill find, I knew I had to have it. He said he'd trade for Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for ps2, which I had, and could not snatch off my shelf quick enough. 



I've done a bit of digging, and have yet to find any other examples of this misprint. Had anyone here seen one before? I find it a little surprising that it made it past quality control, but hey, here it is. Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

    Can't say I've seen it before but it's clearly a printer justification error black is definitely effected as well as the title color and the gold



    May I use your pics for my website?

    Yeah, I definitely got the better end of the trade, but he was happy, and I was happy. Works for me.

    Yep. Everything EXCEPT black and gold were shifted up, including the white/gray background around the UPC/Seal of Quality. The title on the top appears to be shifted down but it's actually shifted up too. It appears that way because it was printed upside-down and folded from the back side.
