monsterrod Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 You should remove the sticker from the polybag and place it on the polybag. aflycon, smailtronic, hippielauryn and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexH. Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 This thread is reminding me of my mother, who leaves protective films on all her new electronics (laptops, microwaves, DVD players, etc.) until the adhesive is completely worn out. I tell her it looks ugly, and it's not going to change the fact that they will fall off eventually, she doesn't care. When I'm over there and she's not looking, I always peel the film back and forth a few times to accelerate the wearing out process. In the same way, I would like to go to each of your homes and remove all the meticulously sliced shrink-wrap from your records and leave it all in a crumpled up ball for you dorks to find.

8ight Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 So I decided to replace the cheap, foggy plastic bags/sleeves for these two records and replace them with the heavier, clearer bags I like using. And I decided to spend two minutes to remove the original stickers and then replace them using a bit of double-sided tape. But in case this leads to derogatory comments, I'll just get it out of the way first: I don't care about the music (obviously). I didn't just do this because I think it looks neat while also protecting records I want to keep and listen to for a long time, nor did I do it because it makes the albums more personal to me. No, I did this to increase their values for resale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonbeams Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I hate VC. I really do. Someone new to vinyl comes along and asks a perfectly fine question and they get trampled on because you've figured out the answer years before. Instead of helping, you spend energy to make them feel bad. Coming here sucks. It's a reasonable question because in higher-end vinyl, like the Misfits stuff I collect, shrink can make a real difference in the price. To answer the question, I always remove shrink unless its a higher end record that I might resell.

achillesstand7 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I keep the shrink wrap if it has a sticker on it. If not, I throw it away. If it does have a sticker on it though, I'll usually just fold the shrink wrap a couple of times around thr sticker and stick in inside the sleeve or gatefold, instead of leaving it on the album. I've had a few records where I left the shrink wrap on for a few years or more, and then its been hard to get it off later because the plastic had shrunk even more. So now I take it off all of my records. But, to each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warhenrecords Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Have any of you guys ever tried eating the shrink wrap? It's delicious. ratbrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbruise Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 This is what I do, and it's highly encouraged. Carefully take off the shrink wrap, then preserve it in the freezer. If there is a sticker, put it in the fridge. The cold air helps keep the sticker sticky, and freezer helps keep the shrink wrap from shrinking. This way your trash will last forever. hippielauryn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number11 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 It's funny how VC makes fun of threads like these.. Yet a post about collecting different colors of the same record is 400+ pages deep.
