When we introduced the Disc-O-File line of sleeves, we investigated 
offering them in an acid-free version. The problem was that the 
sleeves would cost at least 3 times as much, and there would be no 
real benefit in return.

I asked ARSCLIST members (and other groups) if anyone had ever 
encountered a vintage recording that was actually damaged by an 
acid-laden sleeve. None of us were able to come up with a single instance.
