It is nevertheless a safe bet that 99%+ % of Audiophiles & Record Collectors would agree that LPs shouldn't be stored in plain paper sleeves.

Cheap, non-acid-free paper sleeves degrade with time. Paper is derived from the cell wall of plants; lignin, one of the chemicals contained in the cell walls, is unstable and light sensitive and decomposes into acidic products. While bleaching removes the lignin, the paper making process produces other detrimental byproducts such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. Producing true, acid-free paper (pH >6) requires buffering with neutralizing chemicals.

Paper sleeves are also hygroscopic (water absorbing) and as a consequence facilitate the growth of mold or fungus on the LP.

The rationale for storing and preserving vinyl records in high quality inner sleeves includes:

Neutralizing the record's static charge and preventing static buildup when pulling the LP out of the record sleeve

Preventing the record jacket or dirt from scratching the record

Preventing dust from sticking or becoming embedded in the record

Allowing the record to smoothly slide in and out of the record jacket (a complicating factor is that record jackets vary in size)
