All of my collection have the following, Outer protective sleeves with either the thick type with the overlay dust flap from the US, or the resealable outer covers from Japan. Most of the inners apart from the likes of MGM and one or, 1 or 2 other producers, with the rest having all anti static replacements. Regards

Also, is it OK to let an LD lean diagonally? It doesn't have any pressure on it, of course. It's just the last one in a box with no other LDs in front of it to hold it up. No, no non-supported diagonal storage like that! It will eventually cause warpage and LaserDisc warps are very difficult to remove.

IKEA got a bookshelf serie called EXPEDIT http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00208646/Pretty much made for record/ld storage. The got all kinds of add-ons for it to, if you want other than records/lds in them =)

I have found those Bags unlimited sleeves for much less(to my surprise) in local LP stores. I bought a couple of bags for $8.99 from Newbury Comics which New England only. They are authentic bags unlimited products. I have gone over their selection and figured these ones you bought fits best to 2-3 disc titles. They have 1 size smaller, that's perfect for 1 disc LDs. They also have 14"x14" bags that can fit some box sets. I also found these guys online: https://www.squaredealonline.com/a.asp?s=J9they have a better selection. I emailed them a few times they were very prompt and helpful(willing to send samples) I have not ordered from them yet. I use these as storage from Target: http://www.target.com/p/threshold-stora ... rage+brownThey are perfect fit for LDs. You can generally find them on sale for under $9.99 each. I turned my closet into media shelves. Bought some paint, some plywood from Home Depot. Overall I spent less than $100 and a few hours of my life. Now it holds more than 800 Blu-ray discs. I can fit 5 of these Target storage bins on the bottom. Attachment:

Top 2 and 1/3 of the 3rd shelf are Criterion Collection Blu-rays, rest of 3rd shelf are Kino Lorber, Tartan Palisades, Draft house Pictures , Oscilloscope Labs and some Korean and HK imports(Bruce Less films). 4th shelf starts with Sony Picture Classics then rest of the movies in alphabetical order. Bottom bins I have Babylon 5, Star Trek TNG, DS9 and domestic Star Wars LDs along with some 100 other titles. I have 3 more bins in other parts of the room. I also have 3 extra cabinets for the rest of the Blu-rays. 1 for TV shows and Disney, 1 for Collectors editions, 1 for music and hd-dvds. Those I bought from Ikea. Next project I am going install some LED lights inside the closet.

I've never used anything but Windex (amonia and alcohol, both "bad") and nothing ever shattered in one of my players. That's because the most I've ever cleaned an LD is probably twice...in what is now almost 24 years of collecting.
LDs are like camera lenses. The best way to clean them is to never get them dirty in the first place. yes Sir I'm an animal, please don't tell anyone! when i buy used discs some of them has greasy fingerprints on discsurface from previous owner one disc had dried residue from fingerprints touching somekind of gunk, i have to clean that disc b4 i play it
