Any guesses as to how many of them are boots?

I will be posting board pics once I get them all.

I am guessing 2. Perhaps that's a bit optimistic. On a plus note seller did not use any red flag 100% working type phrases in his listing.

Just going by the labels, I'd say Puzzle de Pon! might be a boot.

Well I can't be bothered to check the cart pics section, but the only label which is obviously fake is puzzle de pon. However, I've had several carts with those kind of crappy labels and most have been fine, I have a legit Pulstar with a label like that right here. Seems quite common for cart dealers to replace jap / worn labels before they try and sell em to us westerners.

Yep, Puzzle de Pon is the only suspect one. The rest have legit labels.

I don't know if I've seen a Puzzle de Pon! boot. It's too old. You're probably fine on that one.

Thanks for letting me know. Maybe it's kind of like how Puzzle Bobble was so popular, but to a lesser degree.

Yeah, Puzzle de Pon has been bootlegged; I've seen a few obvious boot PdP PCBs.

The rest should be legit, I'd guess.

For the record, I meant to bid on the second lot. Wasn't a bad deal at $56 shipped.

I was watching that 4 game auction... ended up not going for it, which worked out fine for me, made another score. Hope those work out. From labels alone, nothing looks too bad except that Puzzle de Pon label, but I've bought completely replaced labels & cases with 100% legit boards in theese past few days that surprised me

I hope so

I hope puzzle de pon is just a label replacement. I really only bought these lots for Puzzle de Pon and Spin Masters.

I also haven t really played the fighters so I will probably give them a go but will likely list the rest for sale after I enjoy them a bit. I can't afford to stack up games like I used to.
