Did you buy it? If you scrapped it off, is the old label still semi intact?

I always find Sonic 2 games beat to hell.

The most obvious fake label indicator is a spelling error.

Well ive seen spelling mistakes on legitimate games, most telling is the fact the label is 6 smaller stickers together!

^That's the more common, correctly spelled variant. I believe the OP's is a 1 of 1. Easily 4 figures at auction. The colored pencil work is masterful.

Well, I didn't want to make it EXACTLY the same, then people would just pass it off as the original.

Absolutely. Hand drawn repro labels are a huge problem in the collecting community.

That's the original release of Sonic 2 before Sega bought the rights to it. Sega forced a recall of those white label Sonic 2 cartridges and shipped out their own to stores. That might be the first copy to have ever surfaced!

I meant compared to a known good example.   I could bust out a Legends of the Daimond for you too.

Of course, but this was so obviously a fake, I didn't understand why anyone would wonder(?)
