Collectioneur Meints1981 A note regarding Sweeney Todd (#925993 and #912505 ):
At first glance, this appears to be a double entry. Both versions have the same cover and the same ISBN number. And both are listed as steel book. Still, I suspect that one of the two is a regular version (in Standard-Amaray box). The scan of the cover gives a small clue. #912505 clearly shows a small curve in the lower left corner, as you would expect from a steelbook. The scan of #925993 does not show this curve. I own both versions (Standard Amaray and steelbox) and therefore know that the EAN number is the same for both editions. I've put both backs side by side but can't spot any difference except for the curve. It seems logical to me that #925993 is then changed to standard Amaray (with the risk that some collectors suddenly have a different version). Or should these two be merged and the default amaray added (again)?

Must disappoint you Mark , the images are not comparable because of 'cropping' #925993 is cut smaller (corner collar is smaller : stitched seam 1 = cutting point, the other is a bit below (below the 2nd seam)).

The text to the left of the barcode, 6 lines to 5 lines.

Leike-w Thank you for watching. I do see that the angle of the collar is smaller. So I grabbed my own copies. And guess what? With the standard Amaray version the angle of the collar is indeed smaller, while with the steelbook version the cover does show a little more of the jacket. So this confirms my original idea that #925993 is indeed the standard Amaray version, where the wrong designation steelbook was made by mistake... And indeed, when I look at the history with this version, I see that at some point the designation default Amaray has been changed to steel book...and also that I myself am the one who changed this wrong (shame on me)
Schatgraver , your opinion please!

Leike-w This actually confirms what I said before... The default Amaray version has 6 lines for me, the steelbook version 5. And since I once changed the default amaray to steelbook, I really think that I did this wrong (didn't have the standard amaray at the time of change either. So the question is no longer whether the two versions are identical, because they are not, but rather whether #925993 was rightfully changed by me from amaray to steelbook (see also history(. And since I didn't own both versions at the time of change, I think I made a mistake here.

Well Mark strictly speaking you could change that again, however in my opinion new (and perhaps even better quality) scans of both ' including the packaging ' would be even better. Then it becomes even clearer. (nicely cropped images sometimes also arouse suspicion, and as now doubt, but there is never a guarantee). So maybe waiting for an advice ??. What if the catalog improves as a result? (disadvantage> will have to be reviewed again..sorry admin).

Leike-w I could do the scans of both. I cut them right on the edge myself. However, that could indeed provoke discussion. As they stand now, the higher-intercept version corresponds to the standard amaray, and the lower-intersection version corresponds to the steelbook. I really think I accidentally changed it wrong, confused by the identical EAN number. The other details (5 lines/6 lines next to the barcode) are also correct.

Mark They're just tips though. Since you have the amaray box, and the information (imo especially the line number) just change for the better. If an administrator does not agree, it will be noticed (in time). The more accurate the information, the better it is (also for someone else).

I think 916327 and 2003735 are exactly the same. One claims that the carrier is from 2008, but I can't see that anywhere in the photo...
