It has happened to me, and yes, it has happened to me evenly over the years. Very, very rarely though. Perhaps half a dozen times in 35 years of amassing CDs.

There were times when we had pressings with a lot of wrinkled booklets. I seem to recall it happening on a couple of titles when they used a slightly thicker paper stock, and it caused creasing around the staples. We'd visually look at copy after copy through the shrink wrap...and they were almost all affected. There were occasionally some sticklers for pristine booklets, and I don't blame them, but it was very difficult to keep those people happy. Lukas

My only concern is with wrinkled or damaged parts of my ageing anatomy.

I collect CDs for the music -- Unless a book has borscht spilled on it or it was left in a landfill for two years, I don't care about the rest of it. If I can read the text, I'm happy. It's not like they're original paintings by the Great Masters. But maybe I'm "different?" Maybe. I do care about booklets, sometimes more than for the actual CD. I expect them to be in pristine condition when I buy a new CD and in very good condition if I buy a used CD (unless informed otherwise). And almost always, that's the way it is. A near perfect world... in that particular issue.

I'm used to creases in the paper due to the thickness of the booklet against the thin plastic tabs that hold them in place. I honestly don't care. They're going to be "near mint" the moment I open them up to read them. So unless someone left a skidmark on it, it's fine with me. Worse is getting one that some guy wrote his damned name on. I swear it was used. I swear some guy named "Bill Conti" owned it first.

It's not like they're original paintings by the Great Masters. But maybe I'm "different?" I agree with this entirely. It’s the music, and the words, and as long as you can make out the latter a few wrinkles shouldn’t be a problem. If it is a problem for you, leave them sealed. I worry sometimes about how society’s tolerance levels have changed in recent years. Some people refer to it as “binary”. Everything’s either “awesome” or “shit” with nothing in between. There are many things and people that I like without them being awesome, and there are possibly equal numbers of things (less so people, but there are always vacancies) that I’m not terribly keen on, without them being excretal. Let’s lower the bar on perfection, people - once you’ve fingered something, it’s never the same. Get over it.

I agree, damaged digipacks would annoy me. Jewel cases I can easily replace, but a digipack... nothing I can do about other than exchanging it.
