While there are no rules that say submitting images is required, we certainly encourage it if a user is able to provide that information.
With that said, even users without a scanner have the means to submit quality images. GameFAQs and MobyGames are generally good sources to lift images from (especially the latter), but there is nothing wrong with finding photos online to crop and rotate for our needs.
If you're wanting to submit Japanese entries with artwork, I would recommend visiting these sites which are collected in the International Classified Sites Research Archive thread:

If you have to make an entry without pictures but have the item in hand, at least put in the barcode and item numbers into the entry. That way it will be easier for when someone eventually adds a picture to the entry and/or staff need to verify the art is correct.

Thank you for the clarification. I'll keep it a rule for myself to provide cover art when adding a new entry then.

Hello VGCollect, just dropping by to introduce myself and thank those involved in keeping this site up and database updated.
I've started to take game collecting seriously over these last few years, especially with retro games. In looking for a tool to help catalogue everything I own this site stood right out to me. Getting everything registered was painless and easy on both the website and mobile app. Honestly wish I found this site sooner, it's great.
I typically stick to shooters, fighting games, platformers and survival horror. Games with darker themes and aesthetics really jive with me. So I tend to hold series like Castlevania, Quake, and Silent Hill in high regard. The Castlevania games are the crème de la crème of my collection. Minus Dracula X for the SNES I've acquired every 2D Castlevania released in NA complete in box, plus the original PC-Engine Rondo of Blood. Very proud of that.
Look forward to contributing to the database and engaging with the community!

I really wish I had discovered this site sooner as well. Its taking me awhile to list mine as I do so many each day I'm able to lol.
One of my questions is for site mods. Why does each reply I have to put in a code and Nintendo's mascot ? Do I have to get to a certain post limit before that ends or is that for good ?
