How to identify a stickered tile with missing image in the Catalog?

Pikka

I have a stickered tile (image attached) that I want to add to my store inventory. It comes from the Supply Ship set 8839 ( https://www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-supply-ship-set-8839 ) but I can't find it in the set inventory. There are just 4 stickered tiles there, 3 of them are missing images – and the description is of no help (Light Gray Tile 2 x 2 with Sticker from Set 8839 with Groove). It seems the inventory isn't even complete, because there are 9 stickers on the sticker sheet. How do I find what tile (if any) matches the one I own?

In cases like this I find it easiest to look it up on Bricklink and then use the owlqueryblid command in Bricksync to find the BOID for the stickered part.

@paulvdb Thanks a lot! I easily found it on BL, but we sell on BO only so we don't use Bricksync. Is there any other way to ID parts missing images?

And for those of us who don't use Bricksync? (That's not having a go at you @paulvdb)

Presumably it's only a subset of sellers who use Bricksync (or similar). There must be a lot of us on BO who wouldn't buy these parts simply because we can't tell what they are?

I've updated the sticker names on that set

<Thumbs up>

Great! My image is already there as well!

In these cases (as a non-Bricksync user), I usually send an email to the admin with the BLID, and Lawrence is pretty good at replying with the correct BOID. Especially for older sets, many of the stickered parts are in the catalog with only generic "part with sticker" descriptions, no pictures, and not linked to their sets. Without a way to use the BLID to find the part, I'm not sure how I'd ever find these...As I reassemble older sets, I try to update the descriptions of decorated parts and add pictures whenever I can.

You can search the BLID in Rebrickable and they have a link to stores in BO with the part for sale, clicking in the price adds it to the cart and you can click it to see in the BO catalog.

But it works mostly just for prints, as they don't have many stickered parts.
