Default Best places to find CD scans

I was wondering, what are some good places/sites where I can find good scans for CDs? Mainly for the cases, booklets, and obi's. For my past submissions, I mainly hunted down images from Amazon, Yahoo, and Mercari that other people took. Those images aren't always of the best quality though. I do realize I could just buy them and make scans myself, but some of the products I've posted are sold out or hard to find. I want to ensure I can post all the artist/product information I can, so I would appreciate any suggestions or advice.

@Secret Squirrel / @cal Since you've assisted me in improving my submissions, I would also appreciate your feedback on this if you can!

Thanks!

Auction sites like Mercari and Yahoo Auctions, searching for images on Twitter, or just searching for images on Google (or your preferred search engine).

There's always going to be obscure albums that aren't documented anywhere, but just try your best to find what you can.

Mercari is pretty much my go-to site. You can often find enough on there to get the orgs right. Downloading the images is a bit trickier, but you can do it through the Chrome console.

That's why I think that the best thing that the public can do to help VGMdb is to scan or photograph at least the important informational parts of their rare albums.
