I thought I’d seen a thread on this but I must have imagined it, as I can’t find it.
So, as per the title; I prefer the poly lined paper inserts, what are the best value and best place to buy ?
Ta.
I use Divine Audio. They have an eBay shop as well as a website.

That’s the ones I buy as well Rob .
Reckon I’ll be buying from there from now on.
I have been for more years than I can remember
I’ll give them a try next time around.
Not all poly liners are poly, some are very thin PVC. PVC can out gas (Off gas) over time, as can PVC outer sleeves. Que ‘Bollox that’s never happened to me’ responses’. Please to google a mass of info on this on most collectors sites. Some paper sleeves can also damage vinyl due to an acid reaction. The Mofi polythene / rice paper sleeves are pricey but chemically sound. Most Japanese rice paper sleeves are also thought to be archival quality…
This is what off gassing looks like
No you can’t clean it off, it’s a chemical reaction. Sometimes it doesn’t sound, other times (More severe) it gives even a mint record relentless surface noise .
