Spine Card?

[Zorbfish]

It would be nice if there were some feature attached to album entries that included info on whether an album included a spine card (and anything else).

Sometimes its not always clear from a scan list because there's no way to know if the scan is complete or partial. For example I've been looking for a copy of R-TYPE SPECIAL for awhile now and it wasn't until I found a sealed copy that I knew it even had a spine card.

It would also be nice for doujins which commonly don't come with one.

It happens the same with survey cards. I'm usually in the dark when buying used cds, as there's no way to know if it included one (obis are much more common, but survey cards aren't as much, so it's not predictable at all).

This could apply to even more than just obis. For example, some albums don't include a back/tray insert, while other albums don't include any booklet.

The Obi is probably the most common item of contention. I'm not sure about the best way to handle this, so we'll have to ponder it.

VERY good idea! I was just thinking about something like this earlier today when I was browsing some YJA auctions. I'm one of those assholes who is really picky about having albums with their obis and all original inserts so this kind of feature would definitely rock.

Yep. I only mentioned the obi/spine card (which is it?) because its usually one of the easiest litmus tests on whether something is complete and unopened.

Recently I've noticed quite a few doujin item auctions listing as unopened that are missing spine cards that I know include them.

So a way to verify stuff like this would be very useful.
