I bet if a company offered to produce 25-cent sleeves for a minimum order of ten thousand, we could cover that order in two minutes. I'd take two thousand tomorrow.

If you're looking for 16" transcription sleeves, you might want to take 
a look at:

Not cheap -- more than $1 each, but they are acid free.  The other 
downside is that there is no center hole cut out in the middle of them, 
so the record labels are not visible.
