Grey's Anatomy - Did I receive a bootleg dvd?

I loved this show during the first 5 years.
And still enjoyed seasons 6-8.

Season 9 started to get a little boring and very repetitive. I waited with the purchase for Season 10, but decided I still want it because one of my favorite characters left at the end of it and it sorta closes the show for me. (I hope).

However, I just purchased this dvd-set (Region 1) from Ebay (seller with 100 % feedback) and received it today.
Some small things just seemed off to me.

Anyone who owns this dvd set?

- The slipcover was/is very tight around the case. Once removed, it's almost impossible to slide the cover back in.
- It was sealed around the slipcover. Usually dvd's are sealed with the slipcover outside of it.
- The slipcover colors seemed a little faded. Not as bright as previous seasons.
- The images on the discs also seem a little blurry.
- There was however a red/white sticker on the outside of the seal with info on the set.
- Picture/Image quality looks like a show from 1991 or something.
- Weird case, with sharp edges sticking out.

Anyone's elses dvd-set has the same issues?

Will try to post some pictures of the slipcover and such if needed tomorrow.

It's best to buy from a reputable dealer like Amazon.com, BestBuy, Target, WalMart etc. Online marketplaces especially eBay are full of unauthorized bootleg sets. From what you've described sounds like you got probably one of the oriental bootleg sets that so many people buy because they either think it is real and are snookered or the usual want to save a buck.
