I'm working on contributing the R1 DVD of "The Thick of It", seasons 1-4. The UPC on the printed cover is 883929168651, but there is a sticker on the case with the UPC 883929318292. I have not seen a copy of this title on the shelves without this sticker.

I searched for both UPCs on several sites to see what came up:

UPC 883929168651
Amazon search returns "Seasons 1-3" with a different cover
BN search returns "Seasons 1-4"
BB search returns nothing
Home Theater Info search returns nothing

UPC 883929318292
Amazon search returns "Seasons 1-4"
BN search returns "Seasons 1-4"
BB search returns "Seasons 1-4"
Home Theater Info search returns "Seasons 1-4"

My suspicion (and it is only that) is that the original intended release was for seasons 1-3, and WHV assigned 883929168651 to that title. Later, the release was changed to seasons 1-4, and a new UPC was assigned, but the word didn't get to whoever prepared the cover for print. The new UPC was stickered onto the case before shrinkwrap.

Is there any objection to my contributing this title with the new UPC, despite the difference in the printed UPC?

No objection from me
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

After this explanation: No, sounds perfectly reasonable.
Be careful to explain that in the contribution notes however if both UPCs are visible on the scanned covers.
