They were both expensive, I think the Framemeister was $200+ dollars lightly used

Well that's not expensive like I was thinking. Last time I tried finding a Framemeister, the cheapest I could find was an XRGB-2 for $650.
I just checked the Framemeister and it goes for an insane amount of money nowadays. The OSSC is just as good if not better in most ways, there's no way I would use the Framemeister for my 240p/480p systems. I just prefer the Framemeister's de-interlace, plus I have my NES, Intellivision and N64 hooked up to it. The ~700$ you'd have to pay for one now in no way is worth it

I've used both the Framemeister and OSSC and still have both in my setup today. I think the Framemeister is a bit more versatile, accepting more signal types and doing a really stellar de-interlace of 480i content, plus it accepts S-video and RCA like from an N64 or SNES. I like the OSSC a lot for stuff like Sega Genesis, Super NES, PlayStation, and 480p games too. They were both expensive, I think the Framemeister was $200+ dollars lightly used, and the OSSC was like $130. Overall, I still use and enjoy both, and I haven't kept up with the upscaler scene for a good while as the results I get from these two device makes me feel like I don't really need to. I would probably use a CRT if I had the space for it, but I'd still keep these devices around to get digital video captures from.

All I ever got at launch was the Nintendo Switch. Honestly, it wasn't worth owning until Super Mario Odyssey came out. Lots of other systems like Wii, Wii U, 3DS, GameCube were gifts are purchases a year or less after launch.

Should this item be classified as an "official release"?: https://vgcollect.com/item/182255
It's not like Nintendo themselves is printing the Game Boy Color cartridges.

I've been buying Blu-rays up like crazy since April and I too would love a website to track them with but I haven't found anything worthwhile so far.

As far as I'm aware, the yellow dot signifies stock intended by SIE to be published in the United Air Emirates. However, I'm not sure if VGC has a TLD code for UAE titles in particular. If these are, in fact, UAE copies, then I'm curious as to why UAE has two variants for this title, as the top-right corner of each are different.
Yellow dot version has been kept. Edits have been made to describe the cover variation

Personally, I'd say no unless the background is transparent and not white or black but I don't think transparent .png or .gif files are supported since the site converts them to .jpegs.
