I have on my desk 2 OEM GBAs full stock, one was originally mine and in great condition, the other was off of ebay and is covered in micro scratches etc, is it worth restoring this shell at all or just replace it with an aftermarket one, theyre not exactly expensive

Do you want something that ties back to the “authenticity” of the OEM shell?

If not, Ship of Theseus that thing and get a new one!
