You just rejected a back cover artwork for https://vgcollect.com/item/77308 (PS1 EU: Monopoly [UK]) saying its the wrong one and should be on https://vgcollect.com/item/258679.

English 5023117435065 (note "Developed by Blue Planet Software, Inc." back cover text)
English/French/German 5023117435065 (note "Developed by Gremlin Interactive Ltd." back cover text)
English/French/German 5023117435058 (note "Developed by Gremlin Interactive Ltd. back cover text)

It is common for different items to share the same barcode information. Based on 77308's other entry data, your submitted back art is incorrect.

Both the first and second items linked above are found in the UK, so the descriptor may need updating to something like (Blue Planet Software) and (Gremlin Interactive).


So you now have a back artwork showing barcode 5023117435065 on the artwork on a listing that has barcode 5023117435058.

That doesnt seem right :/

Are you referring to 258679? Because of the image size, I can't confidently say whether or not the Barcode information matches the barcode shown on the Back Art image. If you have reason to believe it doesn't, then it may be updated. Bear in mind that the entry has not had any subsequent edits supplied, meaning all information to it is original to its time of submission by another member. With that said, the front image may very well be incorrect too, but, again, the small image size prevents us from knowing.

The barcode on the back art on https://vgcollect.com/item/258679
ends in 65

Use Ctrl+Scroll wheel to move to say, 300% and you should be able to tell the last two digits.

Alternatively what can be done is to take 2 images from Ebay (or whatever) and resize/shape/crop them and shrink them down to 200px width and compare them to the image on the site. One will be close or will match and one won't. That is the only real way to tell which barcode is on a small image that is on the site, but sometimes JPEG compression makes it difficult.

Unfortunately, this doesn't help with confirming whether the front art is correct or not.

I've rechecked my copy, and it seems like this item page has some contradictions to it.

My copy has item number RVL-R4QP-UKV and barcode 045496900212 (images: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404287853493?epid=66602752)

The item page has item number RVL-R4QP-EUR and barcode 045496900212

So same barcode, but different item number. Also, the back cover looks to be taken from a french copy.

RVL-R4QP-EUR is the disc number. It's common to see the disc number be submitted to the Item Number field when higher priority numbers should be there instead (especially from entries this old.)  RVL-R4QP-UKV may be submitted to the Item Number field in its place but will only be approved if the disc number is also transferred to the Description field. There isn't any reason for us to overwrite correct data simply because it's out of place.

Back cover art for 54553 has been removed.

A new entry for the FR regional release has been submitted.
