Nice contributions Brandon but I do hope you really cleaned them up properly this time because last time they didn't make it because there were speckles, scratches and dust everywhere....

that's an awesome job man, anyway you can upload them to a site like mediafire until they get approval?

Yep, I have a pretty good sized box collection, so I'll probably get up the rest some time this week. Glad you guys like them, I know a couple of those were on a few peoples' request lists, so I'm glad I could help.  :)

Ah, ok, I was wondering about that. Which ones didn't pass? I'll definitely go back and clean them up if I know which ones need it. I think I uploaded Total Carnage, Ken Griffey, and The Mystical Ninja a few days ago, so I know it has to be one or more of those. None of those were my own scans, so it was a little more work to clean up each one. Other than that I went through each box I scanned myself and tried to get the majority of the dust/scratches. They all should be good to go.  :)

Sure, that's no problem:

Edit: Links removed. I'll get around to redoing all of them soon.

They look pretty good, but I noticed a spod on Circus Mystery that still needs to be fixed up.

Sorry Brandon but all your covers need aome more touching up before they are ready...

There still is dust and creases everywhere to be found. Especially the fronts(edges, etc.), barcodes and backs need to be cleaner please.

I also suggest you to use our SNES template because the "grid" on the back (grey stuff) looks pretty bad on all of your covers.

Thanks for the contributions though... When they are really clean those covers would be a great addition to our library...

Most of these little imperfections arent even visable when you print them out. Ive printed out covers that are far worse than these on this site and you cant see most of these imperfections.

Hell I've printed out RAWS that look great on a shelf.

whoa..that was a rush! got more? or a directory link?

Sorry, those are the only ones I've done so far, but I'll definitely get around to doing the rest of my boxes soon.

Haha, that's honestly what I kind of figured. I've definitely printed off plenty of covers that are of a lower quality than the others on this site, some far lower than the ones I uploaded, and they looked great once they were printed. Most of the small stuff isn't even noticeable. I do understand the point about the grid on the back, as some of the boxes were fairly creased and worn, however there's quite a few SNES covers I've downloaded myself that have worn, faded, choppy, etc. grids behind the pictures, and once again, they look amazing on the shelf.

However, I do understand quality control, so I'll give it a shot to clean them up even further. I have noticed a few spots on some of them though that I didn't notice before I uploaded them, so I guess it works out anyways. Thanks for the info Tiktektak.

Ok, just went and redid my 'Adventures of Dr. Franken' cover using the horizontal template. Definitely looks better as far as the grids concerned, and I cleaned up a few spots I hadn't noticed before.

Feedback appreciated.  :)

I noticed a few spots in the "For sale and use in the USA, Canada..." Other than that, it looks good and should pass.
