My first strong aversion to album storage came as a result of buying some cards through the mail in 1983 and noticing the revolting odor of vinyl that filled the air when they fell out of the mailer. They had obviously been stored in cheap plastic for two or three decades, since that was primarily all that was available for albums before the '80's. I felt like refunding them, but just chalked it up to experience and only bought cards over the counter for several years after that.
