I know that this is not a stategie or combo but i didnt know were else to put it and it isnt really off topic.
What you do is take the the clear plastic sleeves and get as much as you want sleeves and a few extra then get some bright wight card stock from walmart. (6 or 7 can fit on a page) then print out the design you want on the paper you got and slipp it in!

that is a mind blower i would do that but it will cost too much ink.
-
you could write your name on it?
-
any design you want that you can print on a 2 and 9/16ths by 3 and 5/8ths

it really doesnt cost that much if make about 70 sleeves unless your print cartridges cost A LOT. But it is cool because you can have your own CUSTOME designed sleeves!

I want a custom pair of selves But I don't like the insert idea. Maybe a peel off decal kind of thing like a sticker.
-
If you have the time and a vacuum sealer (like a food saver brand) you could use this technique.
Take the printable clear overhead projector pages.
Print your design (in the previously described manner)
Cut the designs out.
Align a clear sheet (cut the same size as your printed card) with the printed side.
Place them on the sealing strip and close the lid and seal the edge.
It would take time but if you are bored on a weekend or over summer break, it could be a fun project.

The reason i did the slip on is because its cheaper than regular sleeves.( depending on the printer)
And Wal-Mart is almost acsessable to everybody.
I like the vacum idea but how would you put in the redemption card (or other type of card) in.
ive tryed the stickers put the get meesed up easily when its on the outside and it slips off.(at least thats what mine did but it may of been the stickers!)
thank you for the improvement ideas!

with the vacuum sealer, you only seal 3 of the 4 sides. Leaving the top open for the cards just like regular sleeves. This way you actually have the sleeves printed on instead of having 2 cards in the sleeves.
Some tournament hosts may not like the insert way of sleeve making. Not sure.
-
the insert way is bad trust me i tryed it with pokemon cards too thick.
-
i cant remember what the weight of the paper is but i will send it when i get it ;D

could custom sleeves possibly not be accepted at tournaments for possibly being marked?
-
Assuming they're decently made I would say no. Even regular dragonshields and such are marked from use. Before I changed them out I could tell you probably 5-6 cards in my deck just by looking at the dog-eared sleeves.
-
i'm really careful on avoiding marked cards too.
-
Intresting idea. I've got to try it some time.
-
Yeah, not bad; very good idea. Thanks for sharing; I wish I had a printer!!!
