Also, of course, don't forget removing old labels, cleaning-off
remnants of label glue, dealing with any scuffs, scrapes, and scratches
on the old case, swapping the boards (hopefully without damaging
the old case!), applying a new label (which costs something too),
putting it in some sort of packaging, etc...
