Topher, thanks for the welcome and the info. I was unclear at first about what you meant: bags/sleeves vs. double-side inserts. But I think I figured it out: they are definitely sleeves the records fit into. Aenima would appear to be a legit 2nd pressing, with very washed out center labels. I could barely make out the silver lines, until I knew what to look for (found it here!). I will be selling these albums, but don't want to clutter this useful thread with the hagglin'. Not sure if I'll go eBay or in the VC for sale board.

I really appreciate finding this board. I’ve inherited vinyl collections over the years and am paring some stuff down. One of my buds was into Tool. Me, not so much. Accord to the post at the beginning of this thread, my buddy had/and now I have some collectible Tool. Opiate appears to be a 1st pressing (Printed inner sleeve, BLACK center labels.) Undertow appears to be the original 1993 promo w/out "Digustipated" on clear vinyl. I’m not sure about Ænima. It’s black vinyl with printed sleeves, but the center labels are really washed out. Would that make it the 2nd pressing? Could it be a boot? I would appreciate some help verifying these before I try to sell. (Trying to link to images for the first time in this forum, after some fussing, got 'em.)

Thanks. I did find the pinned board for selling/trades/wants, but haven't found a generalized one. I don't know what you mean about message board code, do you mean use basic html to link to where the image is offsite?

I have been getting signed out and am unable to post. Testing. Edit: Ok, so I posted. One: I'm getting a note to read the rules, but I can't find 'em. Two: I can seem to paste into this field, is that right? Three: If I want to load images of albums into a post, do I have to load them to My Media first? Thanks.
