CDs and Jewel boxes show signs of normal wear and tear. Some jewel boxes suffer from the life long problem of broken hinges but that is a small number of the listed CDs. Photos are stock photos Some CDs have a saw cut or a small drilled hole. These are not CUT-OUTs. Capitol/Blue Note and many other labels did this before switching to promo stickers or stamps. Some labels used the saw cut/drilled hole for promo copies so they could not be returned by record stores for credit.
