    Besides, you could take out the Nintendo seal of quality and replace it with something, a dead giveaway for a repro.

    Also, would you be running 4-color process on these labels? Without it, they're not going to look all that great(coming from someone who works with printing every day).
    Again, I have to ask:

    Would he even be able to make labels that exactly resemble the originals? I highly doubt this is possible. Maybe you can answer this question, please?

    If I find a game with a "reproduced" label on it, I know I would not even consider buying it. That's just my opinion...keep in mind I am fully active and aware of how third party grading and resto practices started in other areas and it started out a lot like this...

    In coins it was cleaning: "Hey, I can clean this and get a lot more for it!"

    In comics it was "pressing" and "restoration" that any trained eye can see (except for pressing, which can be hard to detect - thank you CGC)

    Both these things effect value, when that happens, debates start...

    I'm sorry, but part of collecting anthing has to do with money, like it or not. I think this (replacement labels of any kind) is a bad idea on all fronts and will pave the way for "connies" and the like to attempt to sell MINT copies of rare games on ebay...that is assuming you can make the labels (and would want to) exactly like the original!
