Record sleeves?

I have been adding alot of used vinyl to my collection, the question I would like to ask you guys is what do you use as inner sleeves. I usually use VRP inner sleeves at $45 per c
it was racking up reel quick (used I have been averaging about 20 to 25 per 2 weeks). So I decided to find a less inexpensive source, I purchase my 3mil outer bags at bags unlimited. I talked to them on the phone about poly inner bags at $12 per c they assured me about the poly bags would not hurt the vinyl. After receiving them I am reluctlent to use them am issues of static and scratching. Do I bite the bullet on this one and continue to use the ricepaper VRP sleeves? David

Red Trumpet will have sleeves just like VRP except slightly heavier. I was looking to get more VRP sleeves but no luck. Found out about the Red Trumpet from VA and gave them a call. Rick, owner of Red Trumpet, is getting shippment from east which should be available by January. I just ordered some for my LP collection.

Hey all...

Looks like we will have these by mid-January.. They are (literally) on a slow boat. It took ~ 2+ years to find a place that will make these (correctly, and within a reasonable price. These will be similar to the VRP and old MoFi's (generic though) but a little bit heavier. They are custom-made and I was real pleased with the final samples...

Anyway, do not mean to be obnoxious (marketing-wise) but they are $27.50/100 or $222.50 for 1000 ($22.25/100). I may assume that since production has been tooled that we will be able to restock (we have over 100K coming but over half are spoken for).. but..

THANKS
