Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea?


I’m replacing all my “inner” sleeves, but am unsure if I should add outer sleeves also.  With outer sleeves, it’s harder to see titles from the edges but may offer wear protection?

What’s your opinion?

- Plastic seal goes off

- Vinyl sleeve goes on

most of the time: I’m not too scrupulous about this.

I have 6,000+ LPs. 

Mold?
Perhaps it’s from moisture build up from excess perspiration caused by the dancing audiophile 😉

Speaking of inner sleeves, Mo-Fi inner/outer sleeves are back-ordered at most online vendors. So I decided to try Hudson Hi-Fi Anti-Static Vinyl Record Inner Sleeves (250 pack for $49.95). And they are just as good as Mo-Fi and cheaper which means I’m done with MoFi inner sleeves. 

Spent the weekend adding outer sleeves to all my gatefold albums. These 3 mil sleeves feel great — sturdy, clear, and no more worries about fingerprints. And the price was right too!
