The wrinkling on the manuals is due to the empty space between the disc tray and manual themselves. They bow inward and it causes them to crease and just not fold right over the years. I've started to save and collect pieces of foam from work that I can then cut into shape to match the foam that some games came with as a filler for that empty space.

Good haul of pristine Sega Saturn games and boxes! The Golden Axe problem would have been so disappointing to me, to have found it but it will not boot. I would have tried to boil the disc for 5 seconds, which has worked for me in the past, or at least taken it to get resurfaced, but oh well. The boiling actually worked most often on DC games, I'm remembering. It's like gunk hardened in the tiny grooves or something.

I wish I could do the same! I don't want to stick anything inside the cases that's too thick or would expand and make them bow out and crack. These things are so fragile!

I mean I thought about resurfacing it at a couple of local places that would probably do it for free, but then I thought "What if it still doesn't work and then they ask me if I tried to clean it?" I decided to just return it as is and not have to explain that I did anything beyond what they did.

Very nice dude!
