I personally notice a difference in material and think I'd want to pay less for a game that had the re-issue over an original case. Maybe I'm just being nitpicky.
I would want to know, that's the type of stuff that bothers me. If it's something actually rare, it would be better to buy a cheaper game in excellent condition and swap the cases between them. Even when I have to change PS1 or plain CD cases I try to avoid having to do this, and I try to match them physically with the same type of case even when the small production numbers on the plastic never match so they're still different in the end. Usually when I have to change a DVD case I need to match the same identical case, by the same manufacturer.

It's good that new cases are available to those who need them but they do really need to be made identical with the same molding and material. I wouldn't pay extra for a game that has an aftermarket case.
