And I'm not refering to the organization, but to the TV show. More specifically Season 4.

This comes in two keep cases shrink wrapped together with an UPC sticker at the bottom. The indiviual keep cases have no UPC, and they are not sold separately.

Normally this would be treated as a box set. But the problem is - there is no box. So there are no covers to scan for the box set parent. The covers for the two keep cases are absolutely identical with the exception that one has "Part One" and one has "Part Two" in the upper right corner.

For my local I have taken the cover scan of part one and painted out "Part One" and used that as a cover image for the box set. But that wouldn't be allowed to contribute.

I guess one could contribute the two parts individually using the disc id of the first disc in each, but that doesn't seem right either. Any suggestions? And btw the same problem applies to Season 5.

I would enter the profile under the UPC# and list all data under that.

As far as the covers I would enter it as was originally shrink-wrapped.
So if part 1 was showing I would treat that as the front and whatever was on the reverse that's the back, assuming they were wrapped back to back.

I would also enter it with UPC. There is no obligation to submit a cover scan though, so I would just leave that for my local.

Why not have a parent, using UPC, with the shrink wrapped covers with very little information and then use disc ID for Part 1 and Part 2 along with the individual scans as children.

Well, there is no separate cover for the box set. It's just clear plastic shrink wrap, so that would be the Part One cover, then. And since they are multi-disc sets, would that be the disc id's from the first disc in each keep case?
