Store LPs outside of Jacket??

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this: I've been purchasing a number of used LPs and most of them come shipped with the actual LP (in sleeve) outside of the record cover.

Is there a good reason for storing LPs this way - or actually shipping LPs this way?

Thanks...

I use both ways. The LP in the jacket if the jacket is strong (in very good condition).
And outside with both in a plastic sleeve if the jacket is in poor condition.
I am not worried about the wear on the jackets.

I just leave them loose on the floor; no reason to put them back in the jackets. When you get tired of them, you can sell them as "mint" on e-bay.

Viridian...you are so right. I quite buying records from ebay because of the gross mis-grading going on.

Have you found anywhere else to purchase LPs that is better? Lately I've only been trying to limit myself to sealed copies for the same reason.

I pay no more than $.99 for a mint LP from ebay, anymore and its your own punishment.
