Any record I buy and store gets MoFi master sleeve treatment soon after they go through my RCM. The paper sleeves are non-starter for me and they get tossed to a separate storage bin.
Record Seam Splits
I received an Esther Abrami LP in the mail this morning from Germany. The record was in tight shrink wrap and even though I took great care in opening it, three sides of the inner sleeve were split from the combination of the sharp record edges of the vinyl and the tight outer wrap. It wouldn't have bothered me so much except that the sleeve had the artist's photo and is an integral part of the package. Oh well, at least the record is black and not one of those garish colored ones. I bought one last week that was fuchsia with an orange label.
