It's understandable that you'd want to leave a vinyl album unopened to protect its value as a collectible. However, there is a drawback: if you don't break the shrinkwrap and release the tension, changes in climate can cause the plastic to shrink further and bend the corners of the cardboard cover. It's kind of a lose/lose situation. If you leave the shrinkwrap intact, keep the album stored in an upright position (never laid flat or in a stack) with firm but gentle pressure to both sides and make sure it isn't subject to drastic changes in temperature and humidity.
