    If you spend more than $100, they'll slice an 11 inch slit at the top and bottom of each record's jacket and tape all four corners in toward the center.

    Ah I misread your post.  My mistake.  Do you know if you will be getting more copies soon?  I would love to get one of these for myself and an extra so I can run my own raffle in the Moon Shaped Pool thread.

    I have more time so I'll throw in my experience with outer sleeves.
     
    Sleeve City 5.0 Outer Sleeves - http://www.sleevecityusa.com/ultimate-outer-5-0-record-sleeve-p/9380.htm
    PROS:  These are super thick and super clear.  Your records will be ULTRA protected.
    CONS:  They are super slippery.  If you are grabbing a handful of records in these sleeves and place them down in a stack, it's not uncommon for the records to slide and fall off your table/bed/surface.  They also can be tight on some thicker jackets because the edges are so thick they don't relax and conform around the edges- they stay taut and there is a gap at the top and bottom where the seams come together, meaning there is unused space and the fit can be tight.  Also, they're the most expensive sleeves.  Their thickness becomes impractical/useless at a point, IMO.
     
    Sleeve City 2.5 Outer Sleeves - http://www.sleevecityusa.com/ultimate-outer-2-5-pack-of-50-p/9224.htm
    PROS:  These are very clear.  The sleeves are thinner so the fit is more relaxed than the 5.0.  Of the high quality Sleeve City options, these are my favorite.  The price is better than the 5.0
    CONS: These are slippery too.
     
    Sleeve City Budget 3.0 Outer Sleeves - http://amzn.to/28MVd01
    PROS:  After I got over the initial novelty of the super clear, super thick sleeves, I started to notice I actually like the more "gummy", less clear sleeves.  They aren't slippery.  They "feel" better to me when I'm grabbing records, putting them down on surfaces, and handling them.  Also, 100 sleeves for $25 is a much better deal than 50 sleeves for $30 (which is what the premium Sleeve City sleeves cost).
    CONS: They are less clear.  They don't stand out like premium sleeves.
     
    As I said in my original post, my only warning when buying sleeves is that some companies and some listings on Amazon use low quality control and you'll pay $10 for 200 sleeves and they'll be wonky sizes and some seams will be poorly cut, etc.  Read reviews before you buy any of the super low budget options.
     
    And my thoughts on inner sleeves:
     
    Diskeeper Ultimate Audiophile Inner Sleeves - http://amzn.to/28KwkDJ
    PROS:  They are super thick and have a paper backing on both sides.  It's like slipping your LPs into a tank.
    CONS: That thickness is a bit unnecessary IMO and the cost is high for a pack of 50 ($34 on Amazon).
     
    Diskeeper Audiophile Inner Sleeves - http://amzn.to/28MXUil
    PROS: Just like the Ultimate sleeves above, except they don't have paper backing on both sides- just one.  To me, one is all you need.  These are $5-10 cheaper than the Ultimates too.  I like handling these more too.  These used to be my favorite inner sleeve for a few years- especially when there was that period of time that the Mobile Fidelity sleeves (reviewed next) had a weird white powder in them (which has since been corrected).
    CONS:  Less thick than the Ultimates.  
     
    Mobile Fidelity Inner Sleeves - http://amzn.to/28MZoJo
    PROS:  These can be found for cheaper than the above two sleeves (you can get 100 for under $50).  I bought 200 a few weeks ago and I don't have to worry about buying inner sleeves again for a long time.  I like their look and feel.  They have a great reputation and are used by "professionals" who archive records (if you care at all about that).
    CONS: They are a little thinner than the Diskeeper Audiophile sleeves and it's easier for their corners to bunch when placing them back into the jacket/outer sleeve.  If you get an old pack, there is a chance that there could be that weird white powder.
     
    I hope that helps!

    $43 sounds about right for original cost + shipping + PayPal fees.  Some stores were selling it for $29.99 but my local shop was at $34.99 + tax.
