The auction description says it's waterproof.

Anyone want to toss a glass of water on their Dino Peak box and see if the originals are waterproof too?

Mine is too nice to try it on



Besides I don't think mine is waterproof anyways. Ya know what... maybe I'll toss out my shitty non waterproof boxes for his new state of the art waterproof ones. For $20 bucks, how could I go wrong?

Look at the right front edge of that flintstones box.  He can't even print his own box to get it to fold correctly. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=128352 2014-06-03T17:45:19 -05.00 consolehead84 19 Originally posted by: WF

I see. It's definitely not blatantly obvious, but you just have to compare it to the real thing. With the Little Samson box that this guy is selling for example:

The colors are way more saturated than on the real box. Thanks for the response Vladictivo. Litte Samson is very easy to tell, just look at the spine (wrong Nintendo logo, to say the least):

How do you spot a 'custom' box or manual as to not buy these when they come up on craigslist, in stores etc. Unmatching manual/box colors, saturation/lightness of colors, poor assembly, oversized inner manual pages, box similarities to the Cover Project files, manuals made up with scans from Nintendo Age (look at Little Samson) white cardboard instead of the traditional brown stock cardboard, glossy finish, wrong logos, fuzzy fonts, etc., etc.
