| | Posted: | | | | I have here a box set which i want to contribute but the the rules saying that you should not include the spine in the cover scans. Problem is that the EAN (for verification) is not on the back but the bottom of the box set? How should the cover scans be made? FrontBottom |

| | Posted: | | | | In these cases, the EAN will simply not be included in the picture. You just scan the front and the back as you always do - regardless of where the EAN is located. |

It's not uncommon for boxsets to be that way. We don't mix & match them.* *That applies to the online database. If you want it in your local then you're of course free to do so. | | | | Last edited: by Ardos |

| | Posted: | | | | As I said... the rules states to use the front and back images only. I would vote no to any such thing trying to be added to the main database. | | | | Pete |

Also agree with Tim. The rules even say... "Images must be of the front and back only". They also say, "The covers must match the profile exactly..." If you have photoshoped the UPC on to the bottom of the image, it no longer matches exactly...it also makes the scan an odd size, but that is another issue. To me, it makes more sense to go with the simple approach...just scan it as it is and submit. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Scan the bottom and then just edit it onto the bottom of the back cover. NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Just scan the front and back. It might be a good idea to include in your notes a comment as to the specific location of the UPC to explain why it is not there. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | I will scan the back and the front and will state in the notes that the EAN is on the bottom. Another thing is that i have with 3 box set like this: Black-Lagoon-First-Barrage-Box-setBlack-Lagoon-Second-Barrage-Box-setThere the EAN is also on the bottom. Luckily these sets inlcuding the normal Amaray box with the EAN already in the main database. |
