www.thecoverproject.net is something you might want to check out. They have many replica covers and also custom ones that you can print out and replace the ones of copies you have. Just keep the original covers in a binder or someplace safe. It might just be a better option then selling your games just to rebuy them again.This is actually a great suggestion, thank you. I've been meaning to try this for a long time, maybe now is finally the time to give it a shot before I waste a bunch of time selling/rebuying.
If you really want to replace them just do it with your absolute favorites. Just keep in mind certain versions of games such as Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition is only available as a greatest hits.
Can't allow for a specific exception for an item in a general category.Thanks, will keep that in mind.
Also make sure when you post about a specific item, you link to the item.
I am not disagreeing that there are Webkinz toys with box packaging. They may certainly exist, but the ones in question such as the one above objectively do not have packaging.I understand there is an issue with submitting non-media to the cart art field, and that it causes problems later down the road for the database. Would it then be in any way possible to submit the back of the code cards to the back art field for these specific instances?
Yes, crucial information is found on the label, but the Cart Art slot is not reserved for those kinds of images. Other items have crucial information on various sides or components (i.e. Webkinz tags, spine, box bottom), but the art slots are for front, back, and media only, so those images are not submitted either.
Items without packaging may be submitted loose in the Front Art slot exclusively. No other slot should be used. Relevant recent forum post: https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,12402.msg201816.html#msg201816For Webkinz, there are indeed some plushes that were "packaged" with some kind of cardboard graphic. I think this happened later in the game's lifespan. I disagree with there being no packaging on the majority of them, though. I see the secret code card in the plastic sleeve with the blue ribbon and fastener as being the "packaging". The Webkinz plush with the secret code card still attached is what I and many others would consider CIB for these specific toys and is how they were sold on the shelves, so I don't exactly see why including an image of the back of the code card, where the majority of the item's info (barcode, item numbers, company info, etc) is located, would be denied for cart art.
I know exactly this feeling. I did over a 100 pages on the Nintendo Switch Eshop [EU]That is an absurd amount of pages. Over 2500 items wow, thank you for doing all that work! I can definitely say I recall seeing many of your entries around here too
It is really satisfying![]()
