When i start for lookin around for new labesl for my snes collection (since like the 30% has no label or the label is destroyed). First i decide for mortal kombat... damn only boxes. Ok lets see side pocket... ok again only boxes.
Ok my point is obvious  :P  WE NEED MORE SNES LABEL'S. Im now it's not a easy job, i tried to make them my self but i a horrible photoshop user (this is the best i can do http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?action=post;board=2.0 )
Recently i found this guy is upload a few label's from his collection ( http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/temperance/images/?page=2 ) maybe they not alot or HD image but it's better then nothing.
When my photoshop skills get better i like to help uploading a few label's but so far this all i can do for help

Hahaha, http://www.snescentral.com/article.php?id=0910, I have that game.  Original (non-repro) also.  Cost me an arm and a leg.

If we get the raws, we will tend to make them.  Covers dont appear out of thin air.  Now that I think about it, I wish $50 would just pop out of this air right now.  If we get the raws, we will tend to make them (duplication noted).

I couldn't justify paying that kind of money for a game that's pure novelty. I'd nab it in a heartbeat if I ever saw it in the wild, but other than that... no way.

If i have 50$ every time someone says that...

What is the problem with these one? ( http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/2/26748/1139556-snesprinceofpersia2.jpg ) besides the missing top label but, like you said, dosn't pop out of the air.

Oh I dont know, comparing the 72 DPI image to our sites standards, its 4.167 times worse quality than a regular scan.  I scan things at 1,000 DPI.  You can downsize an image and make it look better easily.  You cannot do take a crappy small image and upscale it into something miraculous easily.  Again, I understand the upload a cover.php page is down ATM, but we need raws before we can do anything.  That is a nice "guideline" to judge by, but the quality of the picture is horrid to 90% of the member here

For the labels, I could try doing some ''custom'' out of the original cover artwork, I've already made couple of labels for games such as Legend of zelda custom label and Zelda 2 custom label

Ok, i can see your point now. I keep that in mind from now long.

That sounds a good idea.
