Good morning Jakeheke, I hope you are well Sir I personally took all of the shrink wrap off of my new and mint used Laserdisc's, then placed each disc into a Vinyl anti static sleeves, and the outer covers into resealable protection covers. All are in pristine or next to new condition and protected from any dust. Kind Regards to you

I remove it if I like the LD. When it turns out to be a lame duck I leave the wrap alone.

Hi Jakeheke, In the day when most of my collection were purchased I had the really good quality USA clear covers with the 2 inch dust flap over. Then eventually when I was no longer able to get hold of these I purchased around 300 resealable sleeves from a Julian (The Administrator who is a great seller to do business with) and then Nicolas Santini in japan. The later resealable sleeves are not as thick as the first type but they do the sames job and are good enough for me (I am very picky ) Mr Santini who then moved from Tokyo to Australia with his inventory of over 10,000 laserdisc That he crated and paletted 375 of them himself, and hardware that is mostly in a controlled temperature storage facility in Japan. I have one more LD x 10 title order to purchase from him and then some less pricey titles after that. I believe he still has many resealable sleeves 100 x pack for around £30 I was informed by Mr Santini that I am the only customer that he is doing business with, due to his other businesses taking up most of his time. The above sleeves can also be purchased from Ebay sellers, and I still see then come up for sale there new. Kindest regards to you

It's kind of annoying since there's at least one disc where I'd toss the shrink without a second thought but there's an unusual sticker on it.

Perhaps only me but I would never tape or glue any stickers from the outer wrap onto the cover, most I have that came with stickers on the shrinkwrap I have cut carefully around & pop them into a small thin poly bag & put inside the cover - sticker safely stored away & keeps the release as complete as possible. Some of the Japanese sticker obi's do have interesting info on them & I do like to keep the LDs as complete as I can. .

Some of the Japanese sticker obi's do have interesting info on them & I do like to keep the LDs as complete as I can. . I used to pull the sticker off the shrink and apply it to the vinyl cover to approximate the original effect. Sometimes I've had issues with them getting wrinkled when sliding them in/out of the shelf. With some, I have done as suggested above, cut them out and put them inside the sleeve.
