I'm surprised that they don't take even a minimal amount of effort to clean those things up before selling it. A little dab of isopropryl alcohol does wonders.
That cartridge looks like it spent the last 20 years in a butt.
It's intentional damaging to sell the illusion. A near mint quality already opened and played cartridge from 20 years ago would be extremely suspicious.
Now I need Christopher Walken to tell me about the history of that Pokemon cartridge.
