CD paper sleeves with plastic windows?  There's a local paper place near my house with great deal on them...50 for $2.49 or $2.99 I forget.  Although all they got are the plain white ones and not the cool colored ones   Better deals may be had on Ebay perhaps but they always seem to get ya with the shipping.

Or there is this website if you get really bored and cheap:

You can make your own with regular printer paper...woohoo! ;p

Y'all should be using Tyvek sleeves, not paper ones.

I like the Tyveks better, but I write info on the sleeve and the Tyveks seem to bleed too much/

This seller has real good prices.  Scored these at less than 3cents a piece including shipping.

my concern with paper is that paper has fibers that can scratch the disk.  I don't write on the sleeve, but rather put an acid-free (archival) piece of paper in the sleeve with the disk until it either goes into a book or into a jewel case (slimline).  The other option is to place a piece of Tyvek behind the disk so it doesn't touch the paper.  You can get Tyvek express mail envelopes for free at your local post office.

Here is how I currently store my shows.  Audio discs are in the paper sleeves.  DVDs and SHN/FLACs of shows I've taped are in plastic Case-Logic type sleeves.  At some point i would like to switch the Audio discs over to the case logic sleeves, but that is a big project better suited for the rainy/dark winters up here in the Northwest.  The physical move of the discs is no big deal, its the relabeling of the sleeves that is going to be very time consuming.

i bought a box of 1000 sleeves online sometime last year (cant find the link right now, but i know i have it)  25.00 for 1000 sleeves, including shipping.... gonna be a while before i run out

edit: found the link, looks like they've raised prices a little... but still 30.00 for 1000 sleeves is still a better deal than 3.00 for 50 at walmart
