I don't get your point.  When you buy the CD, the CD is what you're buying.
The artwork comes with it.  So does the sticker.  So does that thin plastic
wrapper.  And the CD case.  But you are not buying the CD set for those
things.  You are buying it for the source code and binaries on the CD, and
to support OpenBSD.

If you _are_ buying the CDs only for the stickers, then obviously this point
does not apply to you.
