Yes. In my case, the cropping is made more noticeable, since I believe I had a smaller preliminary cover scan already which is scaled correctly as the thumbnail, so when the new scan is downloaded and the new thumbnail is generated, your eye notices the change of scale

That is the parenthetical I mentioned in passing in my third sentence. That is not the main point of my posting, which I described in my fifth, final sentence.

Updated 7/C scan submitted.

1/I submitted

Wouldn't submit new scan. Here it is...

Will have to wait for my next new book run

Add by Barcode Scan a book. Initial cover image, if it exists, is shown in thumbnail, sized correctly. (If it doesn't exist, I think it tries to show a publisher logo, but I think this logo is zoomed and cropped on a tiny center portion of the logo) System, behind the scenes, downloads larger image. Thumbnail updates from new image, but the new thumbnail is cropped, usually cutting off the equivalent of the top and bottom inch and left and right half inch of the original cover image. v24.1.0.1233

No I have both a non-foil 1/E with UPC ending 00111, and a foil of the same cover, also with UPC ending 00111. 1/E should stay as a standard Gerald Parel cover. There appears to also be a need for a new, 1/I, Gerald Parel Secret Foil Luck Cover.

Duh, there's a pinned question asking and answering exactly this question. Yes, yes it does.

If I modify Title information (like to correct Avengers (8th Series) from running "2018-Present" to "2018-2023"), that gets submitted if I submit New or corrected information for any issue in the title, yes?

Okay, so what I originally thought was 1/E, is 1/E, a regular Gerald Parel with UPC ending 00111. That still leaves me with an as-yet undocumented variant. As I described above, it is a UPC also ending in 00111, but is a foil version of the Gerald Parel cover. So, I should enter it as 1/I, yes? Also, in your listing, you left out describing 1/H.

Looking there, I then have 7/C, the non-Tattered and Torn Trevor Grace. When I finish processing, I will submit my cover. Thank you, and sorry for the confusion.

This does not resolve my problem... by indicating that Comicbase should have UPCs ending 00111-00161 for variants 1/A-1/F respectively (and what about 1/G and 1/H, which currently have none?), actually makes it worse. I have three books in my hand. with three different covers. One of them has a UPC ending in 00121, which Comicbase assigned to 1/B, and the cover is a foil version of the Jorge Corona image with the four kids standing between several houses, with a title and trade dress, identified as "Corona" and "Foil Variant" around the UPC, which matches ComicBase in all details. All good so far. My problems are with the other two books. They both have identical UPCs ending in 00111, but, they are not the Jorge Corona image of ComicBase's #1/A. They are both the Gerald Parel image, with the four kids floating in multiple orientations while wearing clear helmets, Identified as "Parel" around the UPC. They both have titles and trade dress, one is a standard printing with no additional description around the UPC, while the other is a foil printing with "Secret Foil Luck Variant" around the UPC. The first would have matched the entry for 1/E, with the UPC ending in 00111 (duplicating the UPC of 1/A), but you are telling me that 1/E should have a UPC ending in 00151. So, I am left apparently holding 2 additional variants, yes, and should submit them as 1/I and 1/J, with appropriate Cover Artist, Item Descriptions and the duplicative UPCs ending in 00111, yes?

The confusion is the point. Let me try and be more explicit. Comicbase currently has six UPCs, ending 00711-00761, assigned to 7/A-7/F. Comicbase shows 7/C & 7/D, and 7/E & 7/F as paired clean/explicit covers by Trevor Grace & Zoe Stanley, respectively, while 7/A and 7/B in Comicbase currently have slightly different crops of the same image, credited to Rafael Dantas, showing Betty standing facing right, holding a hammer and a lit torch, in front of a cave with a single pair of yellow eyes. The cover of the book in my hand, as I described, does not match that of any of the current scans, showing Betty standing facing forward holding a shotgun and a dripping machete, standing in front of a forest silhouette filled with many pairs of red eyes. Presumably, this is the other Dantas cover, so for either 7/A or 7/B, but I can find no signature or specific identification of this cover artist. But, the book in my hand's UPC ends in 00731, which Comicbase has assigned to #7/C, one of the Trevor Grace covers. So, I'm not sure how I should record and submit this. Are the UPC's assigned correctly to the variants? Is this one of the Rafael Dantas covers? If so, which one?

UPC 76281646747661711 Something is a bit off with the cover scan in the system for this one, I think... I just got one in a blind bag, and my cover is colored slightly differently than the current scan in the system. Both the current scan and my book have the same coloring for the background, the seal, and all the clothing and hair. Where the two differ is in the skin tones of the three characters. In the current scan, Archie and Sarah have no skin color (white) and Barack has a graduated yellow skin color. On my book, Archie and Sarah have graduated pink skin color, and Barack has a graduated brown skin color. Any thoughts on what's going on here, and how I should enter and submit this one?
