First off, you would be doing this service and making some (even if nominal) profit off of Nintendo's property. I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Regardless, the main problem I have is that it is really just trash you are pasting on your cartridge, tainting the cart with something that shouldn't be there. (RevQuixo said it best in his post). I see it the same as someone losing their Halo game disc and replacing it with a DVD-R backup.

The last thing I want is to have to watch out for and worry about buying games with reproduction labels.

Something I wouldn't mind however, would be completely original labels using new art that didn't resemble the original label, with "reproduction label" in decent sized letters on the label.
Again, I doubt he would be able to make a label that would be exactly identical to the original. Any collector would probably be able to tell the difference.

Collectors have been making "reproduced" Intellivision and Jaguar overlays for years. I consider those to be a form of restoration as well. I have never seen one, so I don't know if they are marked as reproductions or not...?

Anyone know?
