Polyurethane is retro gold. Baby HuCard needs a new pair of sponges.
Oh no, repro foam!?
How can I tell if my foam is legit?
What I always failed to understand was why, in the US and Europe, both Sega and Sony didn't just use regular CD jewel cases like they did in Japan.
From a cost perspective it would have been much cheaper to use standard CD cases, and easier for the consumer to replace broken ones.
Trying to find OG nos Euro PS1 and Dreamcast cases is a bitch.
In the US it was about theft. They knew you were going to steal no matter what, but you could only get so many in your pants. Really, that's the reason here. It's why when cds first came out here and were like 30 bucks a pop they were in huge display boxes.

I had read that it was so CDs could fit in existing record bins/racks at stores. I still have a few of those OG longboxes from BITD.It's why when cds first came out here and were like 30 bucks a pop they were in huge display boxes.
