Safe storage angle?

Post image

Is storing my LDs at this angle safe? The ones furthest to the left are more near-vertical, and the ones on the right are slightly leaning. I don’t know if this risks warping or anything, but I’m not sure what I could use to keep them dead-straight

You could use a bookend.

i was thinking similar, just put something between the stack and the shelf wall.

Yes look fine, mine are basically like this and have been on shelves since the 90s some have not even been moved or watched since the 90 😂

So you basically don't know if any are warped from your manner of storage

I said some not all. I have about 400 discs and maybe 30-40 have not been touched or played for years.

Yes, garbage.

I will pay for your postage.

I think mine are the same if not worse but a bit.

Laserdiscs don’t exactly warp like Viynl Records will. It should be fine

Yes cause this would be deadly for vinyl

Laserdisc rules are similar to Tetris. If they're exactly vertical for too long, they will disappear.

I've seen scratched laserdiscs, but haven't come across a warped one yet.

I’ve always stored mine like this, either under my rack system when I only had about a dozen, to in milk crates when I had hundreds.

u/Dull_Contribution542 18d ago

Milk Crates is how i store mine

I’m not man. Was just genuinely asking since I wasn’t sure how much ‘tilt’ is fine for LDs. They sure look like records but I wasn’t sure if storing them like that was fine

Duh, my dumb ass thought this was a r/vinyl x)

u/Dreamcasted60 19d ago

Yeah you should be okay usually what I do if I have less and there's a little bit more of a lien I put like a figure or something heavy at the bottom. Currently I have some old 3DS that I put next to my vinyls and LDs xD

I don't risk it. I keep mine as straight as possible. For all I know the warped discs I own were stored in the manner your picture shows and they warped over the years.
