I know this is a huge ask, since what I'm asking for is not easy to come by. But I am recreating some of the covers on here in the new NES template and noticed that the Bubble Bobble Part 2 cover on here is a little distorted from what the actual box looks like (at least from the auctions I've seen on eBay for the CIB)

If anyone has the box they could scan, or know where a good RAW scan of it is that would be super awesome. If not, I completely understand since these are hard to come by.

Thanks everyone!

I have this box... What is distorted?  I never scanned it because it looked pretty good on the site.. Mine has a big sticker on the front (Previously Viewed 5.99) but it's only in the lower right corner..

I can scan if you need me to!

Just looked into it.. I see that the BBP2 cover was made from a label scan!!  I can fix that.. I'll scan when I get home this evening! :)

You'll have to work around the sticker, as I am selling the box online sometime soon.. But, if I can find a method for removal without damaging before then, I'll re-scan..

Here is a GB scan I found..

Awesome, I can definitely work around it.

I've always found the "blow-dryer+slowly peel" method works best for me ... I've never had an issue yet, but I've never had a box that valuable so I was never worried.

This is excellent! Thanks so much!!

Don't worry about the sticker :) I can work with it, I don't want you possibly messing up your box!

Yeah,  you can probrably copy most of the elements from the left side anyway..  It's just the robots foot and such that are the annoying issues.
That TAITO LOGO on the front has a very light stroke too.. never noticed!

Ohh and PM me the  cover when you're done!  I'd love to see it,  and of course upload it to my Nintendo Cover one drive!

Yeah, the Bubble Bobble 2 cover we have right now was actually made from a label scan I took from my cart a few years back, which is why the art is slightly cut off on the sides! Pretty sweet to have scans now. The stickers can definitely be worked around with a bit of effort.

I'd be very cautious removing the stickers though if you decide to do so. Be 110% patient when removing them, and you should be ok. I've certainly removed stickers in worse situations with fantastic results, but this is Bubble Bobble 2. The one on the front doesn't look like it would be too much trouble, but the sticker on the back looks like it might be a little more risky. But really, considering where it is it doesn't really need to be removed anyway. Those parts can easily be restored regardless.

If bg_gamer is just making this cover with the new NES template, I'd absolutely love to update our current cover as well as create a true retail cover to match.

Never hurts to have two people taking a stab at it! I almost did last night, I was gonna scan at 300 DPI, but figured I'd better go higher so I didn't need to do it again :-P 

I may try to remove the sticker, but a lot of collectors told me they actually LIKE it..  It gives the cover authenticity (so you can easily spot it from a fake) and with High Dollar boxes, that's a plus!

The Bubble bobbles are  some of my favorite games..  I may actually try and do a custome cover where the spines line up..  I'm thinking when you put them side by side they can make 1 cloud or something.. 

I try to do this on games with "Series" in the same system..  Then I print them as an inlay on the retail / TCP cover and I can flip them around later if I want to re-arrange.  Plus the artwork looks awesome on the inside!

Till I get another NES Box to re-create Maybe that will be my little project :-P

@BadChad - I was going to go on and do both, but if you wanna take the retail version go for it! That way we can knock them out a little quicker ;D I'll just stick with the new NES Template we've been working on.

Here's what I've been able to do so far with the front ... I haven't touched up colors or anything, simply cleaned the sticker area, and brought in new vectored logos. Have a little more work to do, but it's progress.
