Quickie - GBC box game holding insert?

Would this be any indication of a game's legitimacy? The game holding insert in each copy of Zelda Oracle GBC games is a piece of paper glued in place inside the box to hold the game off to the left.

Whereas I think with Metal Gear Solid, I remember a removeable full sized insert that held the game in the middle.

Are there both for different games or what?

    Yeah, nothing to worry about.

    If the back of the cart says Nintondo... that's when you worry.

    Nintendo had a few different styles of game boy packaging throughout its life, depending on things like cost and what not. Basically, as you saw game boy games get more durable and less prone to needing to blow on them to work, they packed in less and less protection in the cases.

    If you are being serious, then yes.

    It is a flash cart witht he game loaded, a fake label printed, etc. etc.

    Of course not. Ahem.

    A friend of mine does own such a game, though. He didn't really pay attention at the market. The photocopied manual didn't help, either.
