I actually have a ton of CD cases with a hole clean through the entire case and artwork.

I've been replacing them bit by bit. I was dumb in my early flea market hunting days. Not that I'm any better now, but.

I once bought a sealed Final Fantasy VII black label that had a hole through it... I couldn't sell it for that much.
