[78-L] best storage for 12" 78RPM records?

[David Lennick]

I don't like them myself, but mostly because some 78s exude oily crud and 
plastic lined sleeves would be useless once this happened. But I also used them 
on rare records years ago and yeah, they seemed fine. Seems to me wartime 
Columbias don't have this problem. Blue shellacs definitely do.

That said, a few months ago I found an album of classical 78s that I did use them on probably 45+ years ago and forgot about it. They look fine. War time Columbia s, if that makes a difference to anybody.
