Vinyl Care & Storage, 10-min, 8-point guide. Errata: Vinyl, not Vinyls! 

1. I AGRE on: Avoid adhesive strip sleeves, that can cause damage and glue lose power over time, non glue sleeves are safe! 2. I Recommend: I keep every piece of the record separate, like in layers, artwork beside the lyrics sleeve and record, I never store anything inside other, I want prevent ringwear or any cut on the artworks or bends on corners, of that way I NEVER need pull out a lyrics sleeve from a jacket, many people bend corners of the sleeves for insert again in the jacket. 3. I prefer avoid shelves! avoid exposed records to the normal ambient, humidity of the ambient etc. is better use record acid free storage cardboard box, everything keep it close! records are safe. Also WOOD! is not good for records, wood add acids to the records over time. Remember records are made of paper too! have fine prints on, so I avoid any wood touch the records. Also I recommend better outer sleeves, those looks very basic, the best sleeves are made of Mylar.

very cool video! I agree with your points!

I practically follow every single step you've shown in the video. I store the vinyl into MOFI inner sleeves and put them backside outside the cover to prevent seam splits or other damages to spines and corners. I'm using to attach the hype stickers to the external plastic bag where I store the covers, if it's a gatefold album, otherwise I cut only laterally the original shrinkwrap (if not gatefold) to maintain the record in its original sleeve and with eventually the hype sticker in it. Inside the cover I always store booklet and original inner sleeve into another sleeve for better protection. I store all my records into Kallax shelf's too and I'm using a suitcase only for 7". Great video as always!

All of your productions are a pleasure to watch. Informative honest and succinct. Thank you sir for sharing your experience and knowledge.

You can actually get sticky resealable sleeves where the sticky part is on the back and not the flap so it won't damage the artwork

A lot of shops in Japan put those sticky covers on things, not just records, but also American comics. Fortunately whoever makes them has now had the bright idea of putting the glue on the outer edge and not the flap, so they're actually useable.
