Best way to store cels?

wow, i am not alone on the frisbee thing! yay! :-D me too! i have always been emotionally torn over this question! i personally only keep sketches in a bag if it's an entire set; but, i agree that some sketches probably could use that lil extra plastic protection but I am too lazy to bag every sketch. but, what if you've got a huge brown folder of sketches that the seller SENT you with 100-200+? (in my case 2, for godannar) is really worth all that plastic or should you just buy a small rubbermaid tub at that point cuz you know that protective bagging is ripping apart? :-P

Thanks for the valuable tips, folks. ;)

Where would I be able to purchase/obtain cel bags?

And a bit of a side question: if one can't get cel bags, would plastic sleeves instead suffice?
