Cover Variant or Alternate Release entry in collection.
Some Games have a separate listing for Player's Choice/Greatest Hits.
For instance, Banjo-Kazooie's N64 player's choice trends 20% cheaper than the original N64 release.
Metroid Prime has only a single entry, and seeing as it is trending upwards, almost doubling in value in the last 5 years, it might be important to see Player's Choice variants. However, is this a limitation of what you can see on the ebay listing?
The reason I'm posting this at all, of course, is a copy of Auto Racing for the Mattel Intellivision.
The copy I found in a 50-piece lot was a Sears Video Arcade / Sears Tele-Games cover variant for sale at Sears. It works on InTV and is the same game program by Mattel.
It appears as though the Sears variants of InTV games trend higher than the default InTV versions. For instance, the Sears maroon-box Tele-Games version of Auto Racing has completed listings at $13-$14 complete, while the Mattel version is closer to $5.
This is true for most variants. Football, for instance, has completed listing for $30 for the Sears version but Trends around $9 for the Mattel version.
There should there be a more robust variant selection tool.
Rather than delete Spyro the Dragon from my collection and re-add Spyro the Dragon [Greatest Hits] as a different game entry entirely, perhaps "Greatest Hits" should just be a checkbox in a "Variants" section when adding.
Another quick example, I have two copies for Need for Speed: The Run on PlayStation 3. Both are English US releases, but one has a different DLC car included (later release on the shelf) with said DLC car replacing the original cover art's car (but otherwise look identical).
Other examples:
Ocarina of time Gold carts, vs. Grey.
Majora's Mask pre-order "holographic" lenticular label vs. the default release label.
Version numbers, for instance, Super Smash Brothers Melee versions 1.00, 1.01, 1.02, etc. for compatibility with Action Replay or glitch use. Different versions of other games are relevant for speed runs.
Original copies of Lumines could be used to jailbreak PSPs who had PSP firmware 3.5+, and commanded a high value, while later releases of Lumines patched this (no longer relevant today, but still an example of two versions of the same game having a different price).
Obviously tracking a lot of these prices are not realistic considering ebay listings rarely care about every little detail, but it would be useful for variants with large differences like the Sears/Mattel InTV carts, and a cleaner way to list Player's Choice/Greatest Hits copies.
Especially as Sony gets ready to launch their new "Only on PlayStation" cover variant line.

not sure how this doesn't have more votes
this would be great
For Majora's Mask 64 there the "Zelda Majora's Mask Adventure Set" is a bit of an annoyance
99% of collectors will never buy it because of price and rarity, so you never reach 100% completion
I think it should be treated as a variant, "Zelda Majora's Mask [Limited Edition]" or "Zelda Ocarina of Time [Collector's Edition]"
which are correctly excluded as variants.
Maybe a good option would be to be able to permanently exclude specific items : the contrary of add to wishlist
I agree. I've changed that to a variant now. That change will show up on the site in about 24 hours. Thank you
