Not at all true, Mr. V. It happens all the time that covers and changed and the UPC is NOT.

Which is why I called those re-issues, not re-releases.  The Terminator series have had a lot of re-releases; new covers and UPC codes.

Because 2nd Edition Rho, are NOT Original releases...DUH!!! And you can call your differences minor, because to you they are, but to me or others they are not minor, a change in the cover is a change and is significant. The rules provide for ORIGINAL releases, not re-prints, re-issues, 2nd Editions or whatever you want to call them.

That's the way it has to be then if you don't want to play by the rules. I prefere correct covers with less quality over incorrect with HQ any day.

IMO covers from 2nd editions where the only change is a small logo, a hologram, a cover copyright year, or something similar small are as good as the first release and I do accept a good quality 2nd edition cover scan any time over a really bad first edition one.

Note: I'm not talking about covers with completely different cover art and content which are typical for "real" re-releases. I'm talking about the small changes which are made from pressing to pressing.

2nd note: I do not contribute 2nd edition covers.

Perhaps I read Rho wrong, but it sounds to me like he would vote Yes, which would not be consistent with the Rules.

And how does that matter when I'm not contributing my local scans?

I have not said anything about my voting habits in this thread. But on most contributions, I do vote neutral because I trust the user but am to lazy to double check. If I get suspicious, I do double check and vote according my check.

For cover contributions, I vote according to my aesthetics when there is no suspicion about the correctness of the cover. Otherwise I may vote no or neutral for whatever reasons.

But even if the cover of the contribution is from a 2nd edition, I may take that chance to copy the scan from the voting screen into my local database, if the new scan is of much higher quality.
