 Hey all,
Bags Unlimited still a good source?
Poly lined or straight paper? I question the quality of virtually everything today. I used to use VRP back a few decades ago...maybe be safe and just use paper? Quandary.

 for 12 inch inner with good results.


First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass

 Diskeeper™ 1.5 Round Bottom LP Sleeve (50 Pack).

Used after cleaning.

Then I just use whatever the album came with as the 'outer-inner' sleeve.

Talking 4000 classical LPs here so price might be an object. :-)

 Never use straight paper inner sleeves.

 If you want something like the mobile fidelity type but at much cheaper price, I highly recommend the below. The quality seems to be just like the MF but sizing is a little inconsistent. Cost of 500 is less than $80.

 I used Sleeve City for years but they've had supply issues so I've been getting these from Amazon. I like that they are a little off white.

 

+1. Diskeeper round bottom sleeves are my favorite. nt, posted on May 23, 2022 at 14:04:51

 I also prefer a round type, because I can insert it into the original paper cover which sometimes co-ordinates with the other packaging, or has promotion that identifies the age of the album.

I am not a snob, I use pretty much anything, but a square cover sometimes prevents my preferred storage .

 I agree these are very nice and pleasure to use. I use them most often for special records.

 I use polylined paper from Music Direct for black vinyl and MFSL inners for colored vinyl. I also use Japanese resealable outers from the Elusive Disk storing the disk outside the cover - the MFSL inners are clear on one side so I display colored vinyl that way.

Maybe I'll try that Sleeve City inner - like the idea of a sleeve that doesn't get stuck now and then going into the cover.

 After years of using poly inners, I have gone back to either paper or MFSL rice paper style sleeves. The poly will hold moisture and dirt and dust more than the others. If you want a good inner I recommend MFSL. 100 can be had for around 35 USD.

 Went with the 1.5 round bottom. Will see how it plays out.
