You will find a lot of MVS carts have this problem. These carts didn't sit on a shelf they were in machines that had poor airflow and got really hot which in turn would loosen the glue, on top of that a lot of labels were slapped on pretty poorly as well. If I ever needed to put a label back down I use brushed on superglue, works like a champ. I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer here but you really shouldn't worry so much about it, worst case scenario you can A: print a repro label or B: start buying AES games.

I only own a small handful of MVS games but have never even seen one with a decent label. They simply weren't made to last. I'll probably print a bunch of repro labels someday so they're all uniform.
