I've gotten slightly scratchy CDs. On this Children Of The Bong CD the back inlay is a little warped, (like water damage but not as bad or permanent) but could probably be straightened out with a... wtf is it called... those things you make clothes straight with.
Never gotten the CDs way too late either, but that seller I bought this previously-mentioned CD from took his own sweet time, 5 days, when it could arrive in 3.
