thewolf Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Where can I buy inexpensive, but good record liners for the inner sleeve? Thanks, Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago_Pete Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Gary, I buy mine from Sleeve City. They have different grades, anti-stat, acid free, etc. Occasionally they will have a special with some crap printed on the liner, company logo or whatever? Good luck, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I won't use anything but the Mobile Fidelity rice sleeves for my good LPs. Its worth the extra expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell us why you won't use anything but MF rice sleeves? Did you have a bad experience with some other sleeves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Where can I buy inexpensive, but good record liners for the inner sleeve? Thanks, Gary Inexpensive and good is possible. Inexpensive and great is not. http://www.sleevetown.com/lp-sleeves-inner.shtml The rounded bottom sleeve is good. but a little difficult to work with in that you usually have to remove the sleeve put the record in it and then put in teh sleeve. The Mobiel fidelity and the disc keeper ultimate are the best. They have a piece of rice paper sanwiched in the plastic liner that keeps the liner flat. Premium product.

Even if paper scuffs don't affect play, they still are visible and can decrease the value of an LP. Some other sleeves work OK but the MFSL's are the nicest IMO and don't cost that much more than the next best. Some that are lined with a rice sleeve inner can still cause scuffs if you aren't careful. The rice sleeves are also anti-static, but that probably wouldn't sway me one way or the other.

Guest David H Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I agree MFSL sleeves are inexpensive and quality. Other sleeves may be of equal quality and cheaper, but why take the risk when 50 sleeves are $20. When I open a new lp it gets cleaned and goes in a MoFi sleeve. The old contaminated sleeve either goes in the trash or is save for my buddy who is too cheap to pay for sleeves. This may be a little anal, but its the way my father did it and 40 years later his lp's are still pristine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted December 14, 2008 Moderators Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'm glad you posted on this because I have been meaning to mention an alternative place to get sleeves then the typical outlets. You can give www.squaredealonline.com a try for record supplies. The other two main ones I think have been mentioned, sleevetown and bags unlimited I have found squaredeal has the best prices on outer sleeves if they have what you are looking for. They carry the rice paper inner sleeves, but I don't believe they carry the MFSL brand. I agree that the MFSL is the best quality and is what I use. If you have a number of records you can get the price down if you buy them in bulk. The last time I got them I got a case of 1000 and it cut the cost by more then half.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I will buy the Sleeve City or Mobiel Fidelity liners next time, they are worth it. I bought the other liners in bulk (I think 200) and need to use them up, I am only half way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought about 200 of the cheeper rice liners, they're ok and I use those for my garage sale specials that don't clean up as good as I wished....but for anything rated ex and up I only use the MOFI's.......

garymd Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I wouldn't mind going in with a few others on a 1,000 pack of MOFI's to save a few bucks. If anyone else is interested, let me know. I'm good for at least 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Are they 50 for $20? I'll go for 100. Or 200 if needed to swing the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are $20 for $50, or $15 for 50 if you buy 500 (10 packs of 50) from Music Direct (they own MFSL). I called them direct the last time I ordered and asked for a quote for 1000 and they came in one large box in bulk for an even better price.

fini Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'd be interested to know the cost if we get 1000+ sleeves. Someone would have to divvy them up and ship (might be a bit of a hassle for a few bucks per pack). As a comparison, I just checked out Sleeve City. They're offering a "e-coupon" for 20% off the entire order. Enter HOLIDAY20 at the checkout. Their regular price for 100 sleeves is $36.95, and at 20% off, it's down to $29.56. Then figure shipping.
