    Default Box inserts authentic, not repro for sale?

    And how to tell if legit? I don't have any right now to be able to compare. I just bought a bunch of empty DMG Game Boy boxes and need the inserts now as well as carts. No repro BS though

    If you need the styrafoam tray, well good luck, u likely wont find a loose one of those.
    If you need the manuals and inserts, those aint that rare. Nobodys gonna repro those. A bunch of manuals/inserts like that is realisticaly worth like 10$ loose.

    He just wants the inserts and games for the original gameboy boxes. DMG-01 is the model number on the original GB

    What styrofoam? I thought Game Boy games came with either cardboard or plastic trays. No idea where to get replacements besides buying games already complete or gutting crappy games to use the trays, or finding them from random collectors who might have some spare ones kept aside.

    The original GB system comes in a styra tray inside a box. I think the op is talking about the original system, not the games.
