I have a set of CDs with the UPC 359749178922

Using that on Amazon brings the CDs up. Entering it here gets an angry red box indiciating it isn't even a valid UPC. Deleting one digit gets a green valid UPC, so it's apparently longer than expected.

I can't find it by name, so I guess it's just not here. Ok, not the first one.  The UPC issue still bugs me though.

Why the UPC is not seen as a valid UPC?   Why does it not just come up as "no info" rather than not valid UPC.  What's the limitation/difference?  Are there other CDs with this issue, making them unlistable/not in the DB?

Is the green valid UPC you get when leaving off the last digit not the correct CD?
