Exactly. Here's a perfect example: Yesterday I noticed that I had only 1 Players Choice GameCube game in my collection: Viewtifull Joe. Well, seeing as I'm not really a fan of 'Greatest Hits'-esque covers I thought "Let's see if TCP has the original NTSC cover." Well we do, but it's faded and dirty, it's i.e. a raw scan provided by Snowcone back in the day. I'm glad the cover was provided but, IMO that's a perfect case of an old cover that should be cleaned and color-corrected. I've found a bit of a better version @ CoverGalaxy (which was probably based on Snowcone's raw), but the point being made is once something is already up on the site it is assumed to be up to snuff, and so as said, disincentivizes ppl from re-upping new versions... :(

How about you fix it then? ;)

LOL, as in clean it up? Why, when I just linked to a cleaned up one already that could be added. Plus I don't have the PS/Gimp experience/expertise, nor time, to devote to such an endeavor. If you want me to contribute I'm personally willing to go through the covers during down times at work and make a list of what needs reworking, which I think is fair for my limited ability, but I'm neither an artist nor technically inclined in cover making. I'm sorry that seems to bug you whenever I speak up about such things, but I don't feel that should exclude me from having a voice, however small, concerning matters around here.
Anyways, I'm willing to contribute in my own way, so pm me if you want to continue this conversation train so as not to further derail the thread. :)

I'm almost leery of even posting these in the first place, but I've already put time into it and even if they suck balls, maybe someone can make them usable.

Sure, just depends on how much cleanup is needed.

Those scans are coming up as 72dpi. I need at least 300 to be able to do anything for you.

See if whomever you got them from can re-scan them at a higher resolution. 72 is just too low to work with.
