Label non-greatest hits/player’s choice games specifically as “Black Label”
I am aware that PS1/PS2 games have “Greatest Hits” entries and GameCube games have separate “Player’s Choice” entries already, but a lot of the time sales of GH/PC versions of games are lumped in with the regular entries.
This usually isn’t a problem, but it is one in some cases where the original print of a game is considerably more valuable than the GH/PC version is.
For instance, the black label version of the first Crash Bandicoot goes for as much as $60 on eBay as opposed to the less valuable Greatest Hits version, but because there are several eBay sales that aren’t explicitly marked as “Greatest Hits”, they get put in with the black label version. This leads to the average CIB value for Black Label CB1 being $32, far less than the actual value of this version of the game. Look through the recent CIB sales on the page and you’ll see what I mean.
As such, I propose that for at least certain games, the title should be changed to say “[Greatest Hits]”, “[Player’s Choice]”, etc. to ensure they’re categorized correctly. This maybe doesn’t need to be done for every game, as in many cases it makes very little if any difference, but at the least some special cases could be made for games whose non-GH/PC versions are notably higher in value, such as Crash Bandicoot.
I see this has already been done with Rayman, another game whose Black Label (jewel case) release is considerably more valuable than the Greatest Hits version. I’m unsure if there are too many other cases that would warrant such a change, but I believe we should at least do it with Crash since it is a pretty substantial difference in value.
I look forward to hearing people’s thoughts. Thanks!

I've fixed this for Crash Bandicoot now. I've also deleted a bunch of sales data that was incorrect as well. The new price was drastically incorrect for the Black Label.

The default product for that item will now be the Greatest Hits version instead of the Black Label one.
