actually, i had a friend in new york who did precisely that: dumped the jewel boxes and stored the booklet and tray card in a number of 'caselogic' or equivalent zipper-up cloth pouches. worked for him since he had no room. myself, i'm somewhat of a purist i guess (having been at this record collecting thing for nigh on 27 years now), as i prefer to have everything out and visible, library-like, for easy retrieval, not to mention being able to see the whole thing. but i suppose it is all contingent on how you wish to display your collection, and, of course, your square footage situation. darrenb --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
