| Does anyone feel that a game is not "pure/complete" if you replace a cover? |

I have been wondering what people think of this. My Phoenix Wright 1 case is a bit gunky, and I want to replace the cover sheet. Does anyone feel that a game isn't the real thing once you've replaced the cover? This might sound awkward, but I am a collector, so games being in good condition is important to me. |

I have a few covers that were pretty messed up when I bought them. I'm reluctant to replace them, but once I get a better printer they'll be replaced in an instant. |

Well.. The fact this site is here shows that most people don't necessarily feel that way. I see were you are coming from, and if I could have all my my collection in the original covers, trust me I WOULD (I'm sure most people feel this way). In my case however most of my games have been converted to new covers. The bulk of my collection is Sega (CD, Saturn & Dreamcast) and 3DO. Since it's very hard to find games in original, good condition cases I started casing some of them in DVD and then my OCD took over. In the interest of parity, I cases all of the above in DVD cases and stored the original cases in boxes. P.S. Thanks for the post I-Pwn-Tetris. It's an interesting topic that I'm sure most of us collectors have had a debate with at one time or another. Kudos to you :) |

Yes, but it feels better than an almost ruined cover or, god forbid, plain case. |

I've always been one to just inherit games and many times with no cases or original artwork. Does it take away from the "purity"....in my situation i dont think so especially when they are well done like @thecoverproject.net ::). And to true collectors i would assume it would matter especially when buying selling and trading. |
