Original Inner Sleeves, Value, MFSL Inner Sleeves and its too tight!

[johnmarzy]

Started my new year's resolution and bought some MFSL inner sleeves.

My first problem is the record and the new MFSL sleeve barely fits back into the jacket. Storing the original inner sleeve makes it super tight. I know the answer to my question may be "it depends" but generally speaking do you save the original sleeve? Do you store them someplace else?

At some point, I will most likely upgrade to a better jacket or record. I assume I can discard the generic turning brown white paper sleeves, correct? Do I save, what I call, the generic record label sleeve? Then there is a sleeve that has some liner notes or graphics. How are you guys dealing with the no more room in the jacket problem?

I toss plain white sleeves, and generic record-company promo sleeves if they are in poor shape. I keep any sleeve with content specific to the album, of course. They usually fit inside along with a new MFSL sleeve.

Ive bought tons of MFSL inner-sleeves and no-name brand outer-sleeves. I put the record in the MFSL inner-sleeve and place that between the record jacket and the outer-sleeve. Doesn't work for gatefold albums or double albums though.

I always keep the inner sleeve ... if it has artwork or old school advertisements. Yellowed white generic sleeves get tossed.

Don't use MFSL inner-sleeves ... just the generic white aftermarket replacement sleeves ... sometimes they are a little tight but they fit with the original artwork.
