Sometimes a used-game reseller like Cash Converters replaces the cover of the game because it was damaged. The image on the left is an example of a non-official replacement for the original cover. While there's nothing wrong with buying a used copy of the game, collectors have to be careful about being taken in by a replacement cover and thinking it's a real release that had an alternate cover. There should be a few tells: | |||
*Any honest reseller will note in their listing that the cover is not the original. | |||
*The reseller's sticker on the cover is enough of a giveaway once you know what it means. | |||
*If you look closely, the cover is not up to the quality standards of an official release (click image for details) – but in a listing with poor image quality this might not be obvious. | |||
