Does anyone else keep a stash of random sleeves to match them up to records when possible?

Yes- I probably have close to 1000. I like having the 45's in their "birth sleeves" !

I do.  I still have probably a couple thousand company sleeves from the '50s, '60s, and beginning of The '70s, waiting for new (old) records I might get.  But, I've only added a handful since the early 1990s.

Hi 

Yes but don't have lots, will buy them at the right price when they come up for sale, have been  known to purchase a record just to have the sleeve with it.

I've got a bunch of UK ones - would be happy to trade for US ones I need...

I keep a big box of assorted yank and Aussie ones, some British...

always looking for certain sleeves though, especially good quality Aussie, Astor, Atlantic (Green), Festival (Blue Logo) and W&G, but must be the correct sleeves for their import series... :-)

 

Yes I keep good looking sleeves.  But I don't put my records in them.  Maybe I will someday!

I always match the sleeves up where I can, have to keep your eye on making sure they are the right ones for the right era of that label though, adds another element of fun to collecting 👍👍
