What’s up with this? I have a few games where the serial number has been removed - Metal Slug 2 is of them. Why? I know collectors will find a cart with the serial number more desirable but is this really a big deal? Are certain tiles more likely to be missing the serial #?

Arcade operators often remove the serials to prevent the carts being tracked back to them when they sell them on the gray market. That's not the only reason, but it's pretty common. There is no real pattern to the carts that are missing serials, people do use it as an easy authenticity indicator though so that's why people often look for it.
