For some releases, the picture discs way outnumber the non-picture discs. I used to have a non-picture release of Perfect Collection Ys, and I don't recall seeing another copy like it. It is similar to how, for some games, the Greatest Hits version has a lower print run than the original.
As for bootlegs on YJA, I see more and more of them for video games these days. I feel like the late '90s was the pinnacle of Taiwanese bootlegs for CDs (Son May, Ever Anime), but that died out by the mid-2000s. Bootleg/reproduction games, especially for expensive PC Engine games, are fairly common now.
