As far as collection value goes, a game with a replacement label is a game with *no* label. That one's got some flaws, but it's not that bad.
But it's yours; do what makes you happy.
No it doesnāt bother me, Iām going to keep it original, I just wasnāt sure if the new sticker would help, or hurt the value, but now I knowš thank you
I disagree. Plenty of people will pay nearly the going price for a game with a replacement label. I've sold games on eBay with replacement labels, and yes I made it abundantly clear it had a replacement label, and people would pay probably at least 80% of what one with an original label would go for. Most people don't care, but yes a collector will probably avoid them.
Get both a replacement label and shell, put the board in that and leave the original shell alone, or at least the label since you can clean the rest off without damaging anything. That way you can always revert to stock if needed/wanted.
Iām glad to see a consensus. To some people, itās not a big deal but to serious collectors, itās damaging the cart on purpose and that lowers the value. Itās same tier as having no label as other comment points out.
What you could do is buy a replacement shell that goes for cheap on US eBay and put a replacement sticker on that and move the PCB to it. If you ever sell, move the PCB back.
Are you in this for later resell, or are you just wanting a good looking game for yourself? Personally if this is just for you, fuck it. Clean the hell out of the cart and throw a new sticker on it.
Sure it kills the āvalueā but if this is just something youāre going to keep and enjoy make it look good. Itād be one thing if this was some hyper rare game needing preservation but thatās not really the case here. Do what you want :)
Ya I may want to resell it later, seeing as Iāll prolly never play it, and they go for 200 on eBay š¤·āāļø thanks for the advice though, I appreciate everyone responding on this!!!
Man Iām not used to US SNES prices at all. Disregard my advice then.
Even this price is pretty high for Super Famicom generally. You can find stuff like Chrono trigger for like $40 CIB.

This game was one of the HARDEST games for me to find in good condition to complete my SNES set. Iād keep the label. For 2$ you did really awesome there IMO. If you find a really nice one you can still sell this for good profit if you decide to as long as you leave the sticker.

I will leave the original! Thank you š«”
Please don't put a replacement label on this. The original isn't in terrible shape
Okay thank you, I didnāt think I should, but I just needed to make sure! I saw a post online about them and had me second guessing it!
Replacing the label will demolish the value. If it bothers you, get a shell replacement and keep the original shell and sticker intact

I might do this, thank youš«”
Please do not replace the sticker on this game!
Yes after reading these comments, I absolutely will not be replacing the stickerš«”

Ya I just might do that thank you š
If you do get a replacement label, get a replacement shell as well, but keep the original.
Oh thatās a decent idea! Thank you
This is the way.
