Upload plz plz plz. I'm of the same opinion, both in the striving for uniformity and the not having absurdly high standards.

Well, like I said, these are not the quality covers you find on TCP. But I'd be happy to post what I have if people need them. I'll post of list of some of the titles I have in the after noon (West coast time)

I'm in the process of doing this as well. I love the uniform red spines, so I'm using Shenske's template. That way everything matches perfectly. It's time consuming, but it's worth it. I'm also posting mine as I go, but I'm behind schedule and need to get back to it.

Yup. Most titles have Genesis sized labels, and if not I just resize them in photoshop elements. I am also a fan of uniformity, so every genesis game I have has a red stripe case, as opposed to a black or checkered. So a lot of games I have to edit myself and create my own covers. They are not up to TCP standards by any means, but they are a nice place holder until someone with actual talent comes along and makes one.

how do we know which covers are original size?

Look at this example:
http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=11253
On the right it gives a list of descriptors, the last one is case size. If it says "Genesis", it is for a Genesis case, NOT a UGC

I have not, but judging by the sheen of the sleeve in the (admittedly terrible) picture, they look like the same, cheaper quality ones on Amazon.
