What do you think of label replacement?

[Liquid Snake]

Sometimes the MVS cart you bought is either missing serial number or label got damaged.

Do you think it's a good idea to replace label or depends on label condition?

Any thought?

Jenna Jameson was overrated.

I like to keep the original unless it's unreadable or the case itself is broken.

 

[xsq]

if serials are still on there: never replace.
if serials are gone: replace if need be.

 

[Ip Man]

won't accept japanese labels, let alone replacements. visually, the labels is all the mvs carts have. so it has to be in good condition and a original. no replacement.

 

[Vigormortis]

A damaged or filthy label with no serials is a candidate for a label replacement.
This describes almost all my carts.

The only replacements I dislike are those colored one's with the games art logo on it. Looks too cheesy IMO.

I agree. The game logos weren't designed to be on such a long thin label. Those color labels look kind of silly with their microscopic logo & title in the middle.

It's better than a blank cart. At least you know what game is on there.

But I'd prefer an original with scratched serials, or damage, than a replacement.

 

[FilthyRear]

None of the carts I have have serials. Some of them have the labels in really rough shape, but others are more or less mint. I've replaced a few, but I would want them all to look uniform. I can't decide on the art style labels or a text label, and thats stopped me from just replacing all of them outright.

If it's legible, leave it on.

 

[pulstar]

I would keep the originals unless they were completely worn and unreadable. Damaged originals over replacements anyday. That goes double for the ones described above with the game's logos on.

If you have to replace labels use the original style labels like the ones on JNX.

As long as it rocks your boat ....

 

[Karou]

If it's legible, leave it on.

well if its already fake thats garbage but
can you tell what game it is? especially if you have cases. like you'll get confused when putting it away? do you check the label during gameplay? I know my 'game' isn't even very good so mine matches mine are you some kind of 1cc no death perfection god?
just be REAL its better than the glamour?

Disagree

 

[Fritz]

Karou man, what the fuck are you carrying on about.

 

[Neo Alec]

I prefer damaged original labels to replacements. I only replace missing or replacement labels.

 

[Xian Xi]

I only replace them if they are unreadable, torn, etc.

If you guys need them:

[ArcadeAlmond]

echoing what others have said. Only replace if it is unusable, and replace with one that is styled like the originals. I agree the ones with color logos and such just not my preferred. I haven't replaced any, but I do have a few that the labels do not even stick to the cart anymore. My most frustrating ones are original Japanese labels that have had someone write ugly pen/marker on them to label them in English.

 

[kuze]

This reminds me that I need to replace my upside-down, roached, Japanese Aero Fighters 2 label.....

 

[Karou]

Karou man, what the fuck are you carrying on about.

that the label can be worse than legible. especially if you store it in a way that doesn't have labels out on the shelf(whatever box, in a container or drawer, or shocks).even if its jap and trashed you should be familiar enough with it that you won't get confused as to what game it is??
I guess I'm just a scrub though and if you want fancy stuff and have a big pile it'd be different. MVS is suppose to be the poor mans grit side though?

 

[Electric Grave]

I like replacing labels if I need to, I'm not one to hold unto to manufactured standards or any of that horse shit collectards do.

Jenna Jameson was overrated.

It depends, sometimes she shined and other times not so much...

 

[Jeneki]

During play my MVS games are inside a cab where I can't see the label anyway, so whatevas.

 

[ysselcneogeo]

Replace them if you dont care about resale but, if they're in such shit condition they need to be replaced then their resale didnt matter much anyways.

I got MS2 replacement label from Xian Xi (thanks my friend!)
I bought another MS2 cart with damaged label..............what do you think?
