    Default Super Metroid Label Misprint

    I purchased a Super Metroid cart off of ebay about a month ago and I noticed that it has a misprint on the label that I've never seen (or even heard of) before: on the 'E' in 'super', there's a small yellow 'o' shaped misprint on the bottom part of the letter, just above and between the 'R' and 'O' in 'metroid'.

    Picture here

    Here's one that's slightly closer

    Before now, I wasn't even aware that any Super Metroid carts like this were around, or that there were any known misprints on Super Metroid labels. It's my impression that Nintendo is usually pretty good about catching this sort of thing. I just thought that this was interesting and figured that I would share.

    Does anyone else happen to have one? Has anyone heard of this misprint before?

    Eh, looks like an ink bubble to me. You'll see that from time to time on just about anything that's printed on a ink press, from labels, to books, to trading cards. It's pretty uncommon, but nothing super rare.

    Ah, I thought it could have been something more interesting than just an ink bubble. Sorry.

    That's actually Samus rolled up into the ball, you see. Can't you see the little interlocking shell sections of the suit?

    I'd say it's worth much more than $2K monies.

    You don't know where that cartridge has been. Looks like a chancre to me.
