For the RC Pro AM II, should we just host the fixed typo version? I dont really see the point of having an extra 2 covers on the site just because of a typo. I cant see too many people beeing upset that the typo was corrected on the cover, assuming they even notice.

im for fixed type-o.... but if you guys want to put links to the pics in this thread without it im sure someone could find them via search

I agree.  As the very nature of a printed cover is that it is not original (and merely a replacement), it would seem logical that we would want to fix any inherent flaws in the original cover.  Especially on such a minor word on the back description.

I vote for fixed-typo.

But then again, in such a vein, should the Astyanax cover be corrected so that the screenshot isn't reversed?

I'm against it because we name retail covers Retail because they resemble the original cover! That should be done in the most perfect way achievable. So if there were typos on the original they should also be on the Retail cover we host.

No need for two covers though. Just host the cover WITH the typo.

In this special very minor case we could also make an exception though in my oppinion.

How about:

Retail: Without the spine banner and with the typo.
Custom: With the spine banner and without the typo.

That way if someone really wants the cover with banner and typo, or without them, they can get them by copy/pasting the spine from one cover to the other.

Seems fair. I guess its not like we would be doing this very often.

Hopefully. Because otherwise we will have many covers in our database which are extremly similar and maybe unnecessary.

Great work on that RC Pro Am II cover Akumu! :)   Great to finally have a cover for that one! 

I look forward to seeing a "Crash N The Boys" cover too once you (or somebody) gets around to it. 

Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work!
