For Mobile Fidelity the prior posters comments do not apply. The special releases are selling at very high prices here and on eBay. For common records the 'overvalued' remarks are totally right on.
Yes use some sleeves to protect the covers. I buy .5 mil sleeves from Sleeve city and about 70% of my Lps have external sleeves.
Insurance is a scam. If you MUST have the thing and cannot afford to replace it no matter what, then you need insurance. If you can handle a possible loss without becoming a pauper, skip insurance.. IMO. (half the time they will not pay the full loss amount anyway, and you pay them a good portion of the loss in advance!)Insurance companies make plenty, they are not in it for you.
