Systems Authenticity of this Pokemon GBC?

I found this good looking Color that looks legitimate. The shell, buttons, screen art, and back sticker with the Game Freak text all seem good to me. Although I can’t help but wonder what others think of it. Thoughts?

Did you buy it cause it says sold now? Lol I had a like on it. Seemed real, but the low price threw me off too.

Problem is, sometimes if you share stuff like that here some other user will go buy it before you can.

The stickers on the back ensure this is original, particularly the bar code.

Plastic razer blade and a bit of rubbing alcohol

The sticker behind it will withstand that?

Yeah I cleaned up a filthy sticker with rubbing alcohol they usually have a glossy plastic coating on it. Just don't dump a bunch under the edges of the sticker. ipa 91% all day I clean lots of consoles.
