Legit 5 Screw Mike Tyson's Punch Out or fake?

Hello folks.

 

I recently picked up this 5 screw Mike Tyson’s Punch Out with label damage.  I knew it had the label damage, however when I received it in the mail, the label does in fact look like it was transferred, likely from a 3 screw.  See pics and please let me know your thoughts.

 

Does anyone know if the PCB is different between the 5 screw and 3 screw?

 

Thank you.

 

Ben

    From the pictures, I'd say fake. The cartridge shell looks really really way to clean and the label is peeling on every damn corner.

    Was that the one on eBay a few weeks ago?

    Yeah I agree, why is the label so messed up when the cartridge is looking so good?



    This was an eBay auction that ended last Friday night I think it was.



    The seller has agreed for me to return it. He said he brought it into a video game store and they told him it was authentic.

    It was 1 week ago, and looks the exact same. If I were you Nes_Ben just return it. I had reported that listing to eBay, wish they had did there job and just taken it down so no one got burned on it.

    99.99999% certain this is not an authentic 5 screw variant

    There were 2 different ones (pretty much back to back); wasn't sure if this was the first or the second one.

    All the lines indicates someone used a tool to try and smooth it out

    I just saw your auction. Yeah, get your money back, especially what you paid for it.

    Yeah, sure he did.

    That label looks exactly like when you put one of those blow dryers or heat guns on it to peel off and then was shittily reapplied with some adhesive. That is pretty much the only way you would see a label peeling away like that from every god damn edge.
