It is a CD jewel box and he demonstrates during his talks that they are
the same size as a DGG CD when he holds the two up. The very first
picture in my history of record sleeves presentation at ARSC next week
will be a closeup of Oliver holding one of those 5-inch Berliners -- 
and it GLEAMS!!!  It is MINT.  Absolutely NEW condition. And thanks to
this ebay listing I have a better picture to show of a printed reverse
side.  The picture I am replacing was very small, so this notice of this
listing came just in time!!

If you want to see the pictures of Oliver with the CD and Berliner disc
right now, they are in a facebook photo album I took at a talk he gave
in NYC a few years ago.

See you all at ARSC (I hope).
