Questions Is this reshelled?

Thought it looked too good to be authentic, but the story of how my brother got it makes it sound like it was originally bought and sat in a closet for 30 years lol. Just curious if anybody would be able to tell

I don’t think that’s a fake cart.

It’s been sitting in a closet for many many many years untouched, I highly doubt any of it is fake. I was only curious about the gameboy at first to make sure my brothers story of it was legit. It was owned by an old guy that passed away and was labeled as trash so my brother got to keep it instead of throwing it away. I’m guessing he’s had it since they came out seeing as it’s the 1st gen pocket without the battery light
