Perhaps this is a 'nit', but...
I just received my 2 copies of the latest Hendrix UHQR from Acoustic Sounds. As a previous series subscriber I am supposed to receive a low numbered copy as one of the 2 copies. During a phone call to AS I learned that they no longer identify the copy number on the outside packaging. That is now done only on the album jacket inside the slipcase. This necessitates unsealing the slipcase to discover the copy number. How, then, can one claim a copy is 'new' once the packaging has been unsealed? I can't know which is the low numbered copy unless I open both copies. I am not thinking about immediate re-sale for one of the copies so that is not my reason for noting my concern. Curious what others think....
