Did everyone's copy of Creepshow 2 come with the thicker outer sleeve? If so, does anyone know where i can pick them up?

Mine did, i put it to the side for the moment. Is it just a thicker poly or is it PVC, don't want to deal with off-gassing but it didn't seem as thick or have that PVC smell so i wasn't sure?

I haven't received mine yet, but I'm intrigued to see that of which you speak.

Yeah it's like a heavy mylar deal. Resealable. Mine went in the trash. Not a big fan of resealable sleeves. :)

Def mylar not PVC. Nice mylar too, they're usually kinda pricey.

The 5 mil polypropylene outers from
Sleeve City are my current favorites. Interested in any other recommendations.

I'd like to try those sometime. I have always gone with these
https://www.amazon.com/100-12-Record-Ou ... B001716LMM
4 mil, big enough for 3LP trifolds, and 29 cents each shipped (compared to 52 cents for the Sleeve City ones).

@Texas will DWs deluxe copies of AP13, Godzilla, etc fit in these?

I think those are a bit too big, they are huge! But I can get albums like Carpenter Brut Trilogy and Bloody Moon OST to fit just fine.

Seconded. These are the best I've used.

I've never used those, Tex. I stock up on sleeves when Sleeve City runs one of their not infrequent 15-20% off promotions. It drops the unit price considerably and they are top notch.

@texas - Thank for posting the amazon listing. I will try those out as well. Always looking for a better deal, as shipping from Sleeve City is expensive.
@jgibbs - For the really huge DW sleeves, I have used the Sleeve City deluxe oversized 5mil outers. They *almost* cover the entire jacket! ;)

I love these too! I got them on Amazon last October and haven't been able to find them again.
