The slowest thread ever! I know this is a month (and then a year more)
old, but I am catching up, too, and there's a lot to catch up on!
Archival quality sheet protectors are very useful and almost a necessity
for photographs, but I think (the ones I use) Avery sheet protectors are
sufficient for Lego catalogs and/or instructions. Since I began using
these, about 7 years ago, I can see no discoloration, in the plastic or the
paper. Thats not bad for as cheap as they are. I figured I will be using
these forever, so I got a box of 1,000 at Costco for less than ten dollars.
