Cave Box Mis-print - who cares?!

EDIT: Considered by most to be a genuine factory mis-print rather than any dodgy dealings. Who cares though, really?!

EDIT: PICS UP FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE! SOON TO BE IN THE CAVE SCHWAG THREAD!

Side by side - the one on the right is the 'odd' one:

The logo on the 'odd' one:

Odd box in this comparison is the lower one in the pic. Looks the same eh? (the farther one isn't blurry, it's just the camera)

Inside. Again, 'odd' one on the right. I removed card inserts in both so you can see the full inside (the odd one didn't come with any anyway)

And now the odd part: the underside of the boxes! The logo shown on the right had tape over it, which peeled off without too much trouble (had to go slow to avoid tearing, was stuck on pretty good.)

Close ups - note the weird print on the lower sections only:

That would be interesting to check out. Do you have any pics?

Yeah, I know pics would make sense. I'm at work at the moment but I'll try to post some up tonight. I was hoping on the off chance it would be a recognised thing and someone could put my mind at rest.

Will get some pics up soon. The whole thing is pretty odd tbh.

It does! Misprints on boxes seem very strange, but I suppose that they could happen.

Pics now up! What do you all think?

Cool, just being sure.

I just thought it was wierd cos I've never seen it before.

Considering someone bought a Guwange box for over $500, there's probably good money in it!

Thanks Zakk, exactly the reason I thought I'd ask the knowledgable folk on this forum about it - just in-case there was a history of dodgy boxes I hadn't heard about.

If everyone is agreed though that's cool, appreciate the help.

Looks like a katakana "we" under the I of AMI, first character. A HIDDEN MESSAGE?!
