I Deep Sleeved 'that Japanese city pop album with the woman and the car' and it found Variety by Mariya Takeuchi.

Double Sleeve

Mutual follow.

When you follow a collector and they follow you back, you're Double Sleeved. A badge of shared taste and mutual respect.

Yuki and I are Double Sleeved — we've been trading jazz recommendations since day one.

Sleeve Match

Release alerts.

Set a Sleeve Match on any release. Get notified when someone lists it for sale, adds it to their collection, or the price drops below your threshold.

I set a Sleeve Match on the 1972 UK pressing of Ziggy Stardust. Got an alert three weeks later.

My Four Sleeves: Kind of Blue, OK Computer, Purple Rain, and Mezzanine. That's me in four records.

Crates

My Sleeve Peek is buzzing — three collectors just sleeved the same Tame Impala pressing.

Resleeved

Bought from a collector.

When you buy a record through Sleeved, it's marked as Resleeved. Provenance matters — this record came from another collector's curated sleeve.

This copy of Rumours was resleeved from @vinylmarcus — original 1977 pressing, VG+.
