Yeah. I missed out on that fucking trainwreck HWH8 drop. I should have an extra P4H to trade, myself.

Thank you for tagging me, @BazookaTooth.
@mitchplease, yes I brought both my The Price of Tea in China and Manger on McNichols (both jackets and records) to the venue I saw Boldy James perform. I should also add that the venue in question was < 300 capacity, don't know of how large the venue is where you'll be.
Like you would with shipping an unsealed record(s), I placed the records with inners outside of the jacket within outer sleeves and placed them in a shoulder strap bag just the right size for carrying records. I also reinforced both sides of the records with 12" x 12" corrugated cardboard filler squares for further protection. Some pictures for clarity:
Oh, and it goes without saying to bring along your own Sharpies/permanent markers. No one thought to bring any except me when I went, but I was patient/courteous enough to have other concertgoers' records be signed before I could get my Sharpie back. Boldy's son signed as well.

You are seriously the best and thank you for the advice! Pretty sure I have a similar tote bag so I'll have to find that before Thursday. But glad to know this is a safe method of carrying them! I was most likely going to do something like this, and honestly didn't even think of those cardboard filler pieces. Congrats on the signatures too, definitely adds a nice touch to the jackets

That's what I did when I got my Covert Coup signed by Currensy. Felt way more comfortable just keeping it at home, but to each their own
(I also was able to meet him before the show and went back to my car to put the signed jacket back so I didn't have to hold onto it in the crowd)

You can do that as well, sure.
Since these jackets were not tip-on sleeves, I felt they were too flimsy on their own. I went to see Circuit Des Yeux yesterday (not hip hop related) to get records signed and the LPs of all her albums have tip-on sleeves, so I left the records at home for that instance.

You can always slide the correct sized filler pad inside the sleeve to reinforce them, as another option. I think I did that with my Czarface and Stephen Malkmus records
These used to be $30 now he’s charging $40. Gonna have to think if I really need this or not.

I just got an order from Frank's vinyl and couldn't remember what it was. It turns out that it's the Starker Mothra LP that I ordered way back when I had a surgery last year. Frank's has fucked up pretty hard in the past, but my wife went into labor with our son while we were watching a Mothra marathon, so I have a soft spot for the kaiju and things related to it.
It took forever, but it appears to be in good shape. The thing is, something looked wrong. I didn't think I ordered this cover, but since I was still high on anesthesia at the time, I checked. NOPE! They gave me the correct OBI, but it's on the wrong sleeve. This combo wasn't even an option. Time to bag it up. These cats still can't get it right.

Landed in the US yesterday. Currently in South Florida. Should pop up in your informed delivery sooner or later, as it’s now part of the USPS system.
Fingers crossed, we should receive it by the end of the week!

Probably over $60 for me with shipping to the Uk I'd imagine. Last 7" I got was Dropout Boogie at nearly $20 shipping and that's another thing long overdue.
It's a dope track but not $60 dope.
