I do have a few digipacks, and indeed, the replaceability is the key issue. I guess they are done because they may look and feel "nice" when they are sold, haptically more like a book (paper, cardboard) and not "plastic".
I don't mind them as much as other people, but yep, they are more easily damaged. And if your plastic tray comes with broken clips, you're out of luck.

But the pure card sleeves require the disc to scratch against the cardboard every time you remove it and replace it, increasing the chance of scratches a lot.


Quite true. That's why I have/had some of the CDs that came in cardboard in separate Jewel cases. For example, I still have the original THE LOST WORLD CD, which came in cardboard "dinorama" sleeve. So I got a "2CD" Jewel case, and put the LOST WORLD CD to the JURASSIC PARK CD.

I think digipaks would be much better if they were THICKK with a gloss cover. Like certain MediaBooks for Blu Ray. I like them more for video for some reason. But MediaBooks, not thin digipacks. Having a LIBRARY makes it look attractive if they look like books. But then that adds thickness and takes up shelf space.

I have no beef with digi-paks - sometimes if that's the only way to make a CD release happen, I'm game. A little less plastic in the world too.

Digipaks are bullshit, especially if there's no disc holder and you're sliding your CD into a scratch-inviting sleeve.

Yes. I usually take the CD out - ONCE - to rip the contents, very carefully, put it in back into the sleeve and then store the digipack among other digipacks - not to tightly, and then forget about them until a non-digipack version becomes available. This happened quite a bit with Emarcy/Universal Frnace releases.

Will there be an Excel file made available Lukas? I'd love to see the full list of what was in the collection - even just for curiosity sake. I doubt I will be fast enough to snag anything - but would just like to be able to appreciate the sheer size of what Doug accumulated.

Yes, of course, the Google spreadsheet will be posted at 10AM.

There are so many titles that I am sure everybody can find something cool!

Extraordinary video you included with that blog post, Lukas! When you first showed off the tables all standing ready, I thought "That seems manageable... I somehow thought Doug's collection would be bigger?" Then you did your "walk this way" (shout-out to Aerosmith/Run-DMC) and revealed this was not contained to one room in one opening camera shot. Awesome!

I think Doug would be pleased as punch that his well-cared-for discs are going to great homes in the hands of appreciative score fans and collectors - and not simply dumped at Good Will or the most ignoble end, in the trash (as I've heard some stories about the CDs ending up that way from those who've passed on) en masse. You are diligently listing and taking care of them. A great thing.

Prepping for the big Douglass Fake CD sale tomorrow! The current inventory will go fast this week as well as the new stuff, so if you see anything you want, you might want to buy it now. I will put the site into maintenance mode tonight (Sunday 3/30/25) at 6pm Pacific to upload the new list!

https://www.lukaskendall.com/post/6pm-pt-sunday

Here is a spreadsheet of the CURRENT (i.e. the OLD) inventory. NOT Doug's stuff!

Same thing here. Keeps "Loading" no matter how you search. If you click on a title you instantly get "Gateway Time Out." Looks like I'll go back to sleep. I'm sure it will work great -- good luck to everyone!
