I had something really strange happen at lunch. I got the email that the neighbor could see a rare collectible. Found a peice of the picture and got excited. This is my second family and I was one peice short to finish the picture.

The stupid kid sold it online. I've never seen this happen and I'm in the 13th generation of my first family. Anyone else had this? Have I totally lost a shot at my last peice of pic? Thanks,

It was a duplicate of a picture piece that you already have, rather than the one you needed. That is the only way (that I know of) that a duplicate picture piece ever appears.

Hi matt There's a topic that discusses this event here

Next time pause the game and take a close look at the piece of the picture to make sure it's the one you need and not a duplicate. I haven't heard of duplicate pictures pieces showing up without that event, so maybe it only happens when you get the e-mail!

Well, at least I'm not the only one. Thanks,

No problem! Best of luck with getting that last pesky picture piece. I still need 3 >_<

Yes best of luck too you Matt i have all my picture pieces so but i still need like 4 insects and i am on my 5th generation.
