I used to store my records that way, too......

by putting the record into the paper sleeve and then putting the sleeve with the slit up into the jacket.

I stopped doing this when I discovered that sliding records into and out of the paper sleeves creates a whole bunch of static electricity on the record. So in essence you are storing your record in a fully charged state (you get double the static when you slide the record into the paper sleeve and then slide the paper sleeve into the jacket.

Now I keep both the paper sleeve and jacket in the same orientation and bow both open with my hand, inserting the record so it contacts as little of the paper sides as necessary. Less static generation on the record.
