Glad that got your attention. I recently purchased Heathcliff Season One, Volume One from amazon for an amazing price. This is what has arrived...



The security sticker pulled off a bit of color from the top of the insert, but for a $6 tv set, i can deal with that... it's not in the database, I can deal with that and contribute it also... no problem...

now here is where it get's weird...





Yes that's right... paper sleeves, and a plastic case designed to hold the paper sleeves together and in place!

So my questions...

Has anyone heard of this studio that released the DVD.. Cookie Jar?... looks to be a subdivision of Mill Creek? Are all of their releases like this?

What Case type do I categorize this as for contribution purposes?

Where can I buy a proper keep case that holds 3 discs for less than I paid for this content?

Thanks!

Yeah, it's just a Mill Creek sub-label release. Many of their multi-disc sets are packaged this same way.

I've always just seen them entered as "Keep Case" in the database.

You can buy better cases that can hold 3 discs from places like Sleeve City.

Yeah... I was so disappointed the first time I saw a case like that. For me it was Booker: Collector's Edition (almost every episode of the 21 Jump Street spin-off). Since then I have gotten many sets like it. Pretty much exclusively through Mill Creek Entertainment.

Did you try eBay? I found five triple-disc cases for $6, free shipping

Try MERITLINE.  This might be what you are looking for.  The price is for 50 of these.  I don't know if you can just one.

There is also this: CLICK HERE.  This has just 10 cases.

It was the same for me with the He-Man series from 2002. Keep Case is what we put it under.

Thanks for the help everyone... Seems 1600 titles is where I finally got this obscure! 

I will contribute this when I find time - and I'll let everyone know where I wind up getting a replacement keep case!
