Title: Mother 2 Super Famicom... Box info needed pls
Post by: odd item on February 26, 2023, 06:38:08 am
Hi I got this copy of mother 2 not long ago as you can see the top of the box isnt red like it usually is. I was wondering if anybody ever seen one like this or had any info on this. A possible repro box? misprint? thanksYou cannot see attachments on this board.You cannot see attachments on this board.

The top flap of the box was likely facing a window and was bleached by the sun.

Looking at other listings (https://www.ebay.com/itm/265789196326) of faded Mother 2 boxes on eBay shows results that look quite close to yours. The sun definitely doesn't like the color red as it tends to fade much more than darker colors like black.

This type of thing is also commonly seen on Mother 1 labels:
