I watched this once after purchasing it new. After that, I stored it in a cover in a dark place, so there are no noticeable stains or scratches. However, please understand that this item has been handled by a person before purchasing. It will be packaged with bubble wrap (the cushioning material may be changed to a thinner one depending on the thickness), and then shipped with measures to prevent water damage. ※This is a Blu-ray. Not a DVD.
