Video games with art cel/lithograph similar to these?

Just wondering how many games had art cel/lithographs like these.

Basically an plastic sleeve with an color border, an logo (top or bottom), cardboard at the back with the picture between. Kinda like being being framed but plastic acts as the glass and the border acts as the wood of the frame.

I've seen one for Jade Cocoon and one for Suikoden (IV or V I think).

Thanks.

(Ones with similar size too if possible)

Thanks man. Never tried "laser cel" as an search before.

You ever seen any ones no one really talks about or ones you never knew existed till they showed up on ebay or some really old thread on some website?

Any idea what they started using laser cels for video games? Oldest one I've seen was one for Jade Cocoon, was that before laser cels?

If it helps, US gamestop has made a habit of making them and giving them out as pre-orders for games all the way back to Resident evil 4 and as recently as Assassin's Creed IV

I wouldn't say pre-order bonus for the recent ones, since they were meant to be

given to employees lol.

Well I can say for sure that the AC4 & the Watchdogs were for employees only.

I know a few people who work at gamestop, so that's how I know they were given to managers along the "kits" to give out to employees. Some managers decided to hand them out at midnight releases (for AC4) instead.
