and placed them behind the cover (inner opening to side) in the mylar outer. Prevents seam splits, keeps dust out. I don't try to do many repairs, I never use tape. I use naphtha for stickers sometimes.
When I'm selling a record, I don't mess with it, I let the buyer do the deed.

I do that to all of my LPs. I cannot count the number of covers I have seen with split edges and this is not just the used LPs. I have received brand new pressings with the edges split.

Storing your LPs with the cover separate from the vinyl in a poly bag takes up more room on the shelf too. It's just thicker stored that way.

On gatefold cover LPs I store the vinyl inside the gatefold. I remove everything from the cover and place it between the two sides of the cover.

For box sets its different. Removing the LPs from covers inside a box and placing them outside the cover sometimes creates a situation where everything will not fit inside the box. It depends on whether all of the covers and vinyl will fit. If not, I leave it as originally stored.

  i ship them this way, but storage is at a premium in my house and they take up twice as much shelf space.
