Re: Uh ... rare NES game question -

I'd say making the Myriad sticker look legit would be tricky - All the text has to be the right font, the right size, in the right positions, and on top of all that, the sticker has to be slightly smaller than the label it overlaps, yet not too small. You could extract a picture of such a label from the 'Net and reprint it, but even then, the size probably won't be exact, and if you re-size the image, it'll probably be obvious. Your best bet would be buying an actual cart, scanning the label, and reproducing it. But doing that, you've already spent more money than you'd ever get back for it.

Yeah since all the data is the same I wonder how many fake Myriad carts there are. What's stopping anyone from buying a Caltron cart (granted, you would either need to be very lucky at flea markets or spend a fee hundred dollars on eBay) making their own sticker with an exceptional serial number like 000001 and then trying to sell it for a $1000 or so on eBay?
The more I search about it, the more I find people who say they found their copy or remember renting a copy from a local game store. I wonder if Caltron used small rental stores as a sort of distribution method like Wisdom Tree used Christian bookstores.
