I have ordered lots of notes over the past few months and they generally turn up in mylar sleeves.
I have an album with 3 pocket pages and 2 pocket pages... the 3 pocket ones I am confident enough to remove the sleeves and put straight in my album (10 years+ my previous notes spent there and no sign of damage...the pages are thin plastic with no smell to them at all and I think they are archive quality)
The 2 pocket pages however I don't trust because there is a slight smell to them so I keep the bigger notes in the mylar sleeves.
I guess better safe than sorry but no problems yet, touch wood I won't have.
Another reason I like the mylar sleeves in addition to the album pages is in case I want to re-arrange my notes or I want to show off only a few select notes, I can pull them out of the main book to somewhere else for a short time with less chance of an accidental bend or bumping into the edge of an UNC note causing a slight curl.
With the sleeves, I can handle them with more confidence and I don't have to get the gloves out every time I want a closer look.
