JB sells MoFi sleeves for $49.99 a pack, cheapest I've seen in NZ.
The no-name knock-offs from Southbound are just as good, as long as you get a good pack, I got one that was too small for 12in records.

The pack I got from Southbound were too small and left a part of the lp unprotected. I have used the four layer RG sleeves and they're fine but the same price as the JB MoFi.

Nagaoka style round sleeves for me.
My MoFi's always bend at the corners!

Nagaoka style round sleeves for me. My MoFi's always bend at the corners! I use the round bottom style on all my LP sales after I clean them . They fit nicely into original square paper and printed inner sleeves with less scuffing. Much more cost effective as well.

My ultimate sleeve (which doesn't exist right now) would be a round bottom MA Recordings inner sleeve. Maybe MoFi could copy them but make them in China instead of Japan and use a synthetic material and say they're made of cotton.

I started with Nagaokas decades ago when that was all you could get in NZ.
I find them too floppy and bend even more than MoFi's.
Their thinness is advantageous in lining paper inners or for use in tight covers so I keep a few in stock.
Southbound square no-names are a bit stiffer than MoFi, the Southbound round bottoms are decent too.

Their thinness is their advantage! Can be put inside a paper or cardboard sleeve for added protection. Or on their own with comfort. Less space means more LPs per foot on the shelves.

I still have a few Nagaoka left.
No.102 inner record sleeves, from the '90's.
Thanks for the Southbound tip, they're nearby,
