Good question.

I don't think you can ever really tell 100%. First factors are correct tagging, lettering, etc. If all that falls into place, then wear and tear should be a pretty decent sign that the game use is genuine.

Of course, as a rookie in this great GU hobby, that's just my opinion. Advice from the pros is appreciated.
