Needles & Grooves

I despise them

I like this place a lot. Canadian but they ship free to the US if you buy $50+. They have seal-ups, tuck-ins, standard sleeves, inners, all sizes, etc. You can also buy single sleeves for 10 inches or oversized jackets, which is really nice.

@debianlinux thats the general consensus but I can’t see myself really using anything else.

I will continue to love them. They work great for me. Had the sleeves posted above had been available when I switched to ClearBags, I would have tried them. Collection too big to switch over.

@debianlinux

Absolutely despise them only because they make it too hard to put it back in without sticking to something too often, especially when part of the adhesive transfers to the flap.

But mostly just want to ask, why do you guys like them? I've never experienced any issues with open top outers while sitting on my shelf, so I'm just curious why they are worth the inconvenience to you. What am I missing?

@dhodo well you know how we get into this hobby for the cost and inconvenience? It's that turned to 11.

Too many ruined covers for me to like them!

A few reasons, ranked from most important to least

1. They can be presented or highlighted while inside the outer sleeve without seeing the ugly top slit curtains from showing.
