totally! the stores by me are "Dimple Records," I've checked them out a couple times and they never have what I'm interested in and the origination of the records they do have is shit. Not to mention over priced.

Just started collecting and have found the best source for purchasing vinyl is online. My question is this: I purchased a "new/sealed" vinyl from an online retailer. It comes packaged well... but the record inside is not mint. A corner has a huge bend in it and there is some weird crumb under the shrink wrap. This isn't the first time i ordered "new" and it wasn't perfect, but this time the album is worth a pretty penny and i expected it to be mint. Is this a common problem in the vinyl collecting community? Any suggestions on how to handle this.. or do i just deal with it?

Way to set my hopes then crash them by saying the don't ship to the US

The German ones? That pic looks like what I'm looking for.

ooh nice. i want these!

I purchased and have been using some sleeves on amazon: (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001716LMM/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) I don't like them... they are slippery and too short so the vinyl is exposed at the top with the gatefolds. Recently, i purchased a vinyl from Germany, coming from someones personal collection it had a sleeve on it. This sleeve is everything i want in a sleeve, but the dude never replied to my email about the brand. Through my research i have concluded this sleeve has these specs... 6 mil polyethylene 12 5/8" x 12 7/8" Can someone help me find these?!?

I'm stoked. Pledged!
