chrisnorman Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 is there something wrong with leaving them in the colored sleeves they came in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 No, but they actually didn't come in them. They came in plain white sleeves and color sleeves that you COULD put them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrews Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 i think I might do the same thing as mentioned above.....I'm going to try to keep the records in the paper sleeves and put the record and cover in a plastic sleeve and see if it fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrews Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Doesn't really fit with the plastic sleeves. I'm thinking about cutting/melting the sleeves to fit the record/cover better (theres about a centimeter I could cut off the top and side). I realize that melting them all back into a real sleeve will be a pain in the ass. Anyone actually plan on just using the regular sleeves and getting rid of the paper sleeves altogether? I find that a few of them fit a little too tight for my liking and will probably keep the paper sleeves. Also, anyone other than jhulud have any real damage to their boxes? Everything on my looks awesome, except the back of the last sleeve has a few minor scuffs from moving around against the box during travel. All in all its no big deal and I'm pretty happy with it.

jhulud Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Gee...thanks for reminding me of the not-so perfect condition of mine andrews! Ya dick! Just playin' dude! A good VC e-friend made me realize that considering it traveled from overseas and it's such a large item, all in all it could have been in worse shape. Oh sure, the anal-retentive OCD in me would have liked it to be perfect...but hey...that's life for ya...it can't all as we expect it all the time...

Ya dick! hahaha man, I don't know if you've posted any photos but I doubt its a heartbreaker. I think just based on how its packages it can take some damage and still look awesome. IDEA: swap yours for your brothers! I'd say you deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Why not just sell them through their site? Then they wouldn't have to pay eBay fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are pics of the two corners of the box...and the sleeve for Mosquito Control...the corner sleeves for ITAOT, Celestial, and Panopticon are a little bit dinged up but I didn't take pics... And I have thought about doing a switcharoo with my brother's once it arrives... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrews Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Man....those corners are fine! I think mine might be somewhere close that and I'm happy. Sucks about cover being scuffed up, I have the same sort of thing on the back of the second ITAOT cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
