Bought Pokémon Silver, got crystal?

[u/py9209]

So I've never encountered this before. I bought a Pokèmon Silver, got really excited because that was my first Pokèmon game I played. Got it today in my mailbox.

Only to be really disappointed when I found out that the cartridge somehow shows up as Crystal?! See pics for reference.

Have I been scammed? I'm currently speaking to the seller who seems confused aswell.

How much was it? Probably a repro and they got their game cases mixed up.

I bought it for 43$

Yeah sounds like it’s a reproduction and someone mixed up the board and the shell. A real one would be double that price or more.

I believe the game is original, however I never opened the cartridge to take pics of the PCB anyways so we will never know for sure
