Do any of you just buy on Ebay? Or can we make a request on here, how does it work?

I'm interested in Nolan Ryan Baseball cover. But I only see a custom one on Ebay.

To make a request for a cover you will want to go to the request thread in the forums and start a new thread of the cover/s you are lookin for there. But before you do make that request, just make sure you take a look through all the forums to make sure it's not there first. Once in the forums section there is a search bar above it for you. Just type in whT you're looking for and it will try to find what's most relevant to your search.
What are you looking at? You think baby's don't like video games? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BABIES!!

I'm not sure what style of cover you are looking for, but there is a vertical of it on this page.

When you use the Search Bar try to use Bunny ears, for example "Snes Covers", that way the search will be more specific if no luck try again without the bunny ears

Don't buy on eBay if you haven't searched the forums yet. The main database to the left hosts really pretty scans of official covers, though some may be grainy as those were uploaded before the really strict requirements.

I've found hundreds of covers through the forums that served my purpose that I couldn't find in the main database.
Nintendo:  NES-101 | Wii | GB Boy Colour | GBA SP 101 | DSL | 3DS XL Zelda Edition
Sega: GG
SNK: NGPC
Sony: PS | PS2 | PS3 Slim | PSP 3000

Most of the sellers on e-Bay have leeched the artwork from here.  If you see the cover on e-Bay, there is a huge probability its lurking in the boards somewhere.

I know you're not trying to be funny sheep, but it is quite humerus since that is so true. Honestly I don't think I've seen a cover on eBay that's NOT from here.

Adding on what sheep had told, also if you see a cover on ebay or somewhere else and is a custom one you'll see on the spine the Nintendo logo on NES one, super Nintendo logo on snes ones, etc. Easy to spot

Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Yup, I've even seen some of my custom covers being sold as posters, fridge magnets, and keyringd, the sellers don't even realise they are not the official covers. Lol

Ya. I don't search often, especially after finding some of my covers on there, I can't do anything about it so I don't bother to look anymore. But all that I've personally seen were ones from here. Even the one's that were crappy quality. (Due to not knowing how to print well)

I've seen plenty of my covers on eBay. Also my Pokemon 3DS spine series seems to be popular on Etsy...  :(
