This is in regards to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century: Season Two.

When this was first released, here was a misprint on the back cover. The episode Shgoratchx! was placed under Disc 2 instead of under Disc 3, where it actually belongs. A second printing of the cover corrected this mistake.

 

The cover currently in the online is the original with the misprinting. Now a user wants to replace this with the corrected cover. That poses a problem, in my opinion. The current cover scan is a valid scan, as it depicts an actual existing cover. You can't replace a valid cover with another different valid cover. You would have to do so by the way of a alternate profile.

But... an alternate cover must be "largely different". The reason for this is that users must be able to tell which variant matches their own copy when they download from Invelos. These two would look exactly identical, which would just cause confusion.

So, in my opinion, the cover with the correct data - as ironic as it seems - cannot be contributed. Am I right?

I agree. The rules clearly states

Quote:
If a title is re-released with the same UPC, but different cover images, do not contribute the new images to the original profile.

So even if the newly contributed scan was better quality, it would not be allowed as per the rules.

Quoting ObiKen:

However, if the original scan was poor quality and the new revised scan (with correction) was superior in quality, wouldn't the rules allow it to supersede the original?

No.
