What Do You Do with Your Blu-ray Inserts and Booklets?

[Leeon0]

I’m wondering what other collectors do. Do you
A. keep them in the cases?
B. throw them out?
C. remove them from the cases and store them elsewhere?
D. other (explain)

My choice is C. I read somewhere a long time ago that in a humid environment there exists, theoretically, the potential of exposing optical discs to an increased amount of moisture if they are stored together with paper products. The reason is that paper products absorb and retain moisture, which can transfer to the disc.

What I've done is remove all the inserts and booklets from both my DVD and Blu-ray cases, insert them in polyethylene sleeves, and store them in plastic boxes. I've kept the DVD inserts of titles I replaced with their Blu-ray versions. I’m a collector by nature, having collected sundry items like baseball cards, comic books, magazines, records, superhero statues, coins, and less conventional things, so this is right up my alley. Having the inserts and booklets stored outside the cases has a few advantages:

--No potential moisture transfer to discs
--Less weight on shelves. Important if your shelves are made of particleboard or MDF. You’d be surprised by the amount of weight the booklets can add to the shelves, especially if you have a very large collection.
--No accidental tearing of the pages when placing the booklets under the clips or removing them from the case.

Of course the sleeves are unnecessary, but I put sleeves on almost anything I can, from BDs
