How to identify it
This is a later print, number 5 in the run, not the first. The first print is Gloss sticker seal print — hangtab, no codes.
The last hangtab print. Identical to the previous one except that a ™ now appears at the end of “Nintendo Entertainment System”, on the front of the box below the title, centre right. Check the hangtab is present and the Seal of Quality is round, then look for that ™ to separate it from the two-code print before it.
