I just wanted to know: What kind of card sleeves do you like to use for your decks?

Isildur · « **Reply #1 on:** December 13, 2012, 12:18:46 AM »

For any game Dragon Shield nuff said

Though I will for redemption on occasion use a set of the yugioh sized protectors since they are super easy to shuffle!

Isildur is correct. I use gold Dragon Shields that I bought used from someone who attended LA Nats, and they're still in great shape! I also use the Yu-Gi-Oh-sized sleeves due to the ease of shuffling. I've tried other brands that have really cool designs but they never hold up over time.

Anything import, usually anything by Bushiroad or Broccoli.

I use Ultra Pro myself. Cheaper, and I like the pro matte ones because they're relatively sturdy and shuffle well (as well as not being all shiny, and come in a lot of colors). I've also taken to using their pro-fit sleeves (a perfect-fit penny sleeve), which can be put on the card before it goes in a regular sleeve. No grime on my cards

I've used a variety of sleeves for my decks. My personal favorite is Ultra Pro. I just simply love the feel. I've also used really cheap card sleeves that I got from a Fred's store. (But they work great.) At Nationals, I played my deck using black sleeves by a company known as Deck-Prot. The cards feel great when shuffling. I also lent by brother a deck which used FFG's Star Wars sleeves.

I've been meaning to try Player's Choice or KMC. How good are they?

Player's Choice and KMC are Japanese sleeves, meaning they have thinner edges than American brands. They hold up well but I personally cannot stand trying to shuffle them. I recomend Dragon Shields.

Anything that will last for a good amount of games, Dragon Shield is usualy pretty good.

Thing is the brands or just based here. Dragon shields are manufactured in belgium.

I just spent an hour looking at sleeves with art, even though I don't play Redemption anymore, instead of studying for my final.

personally, I use whatever I can find that I can afford.

Yes but those weren't my best I also have lions, dragons, and a shoe (found a shoe deck box so yeah), my favorite are my new lion ones!!!

You heard the man. Shoe sleeves.

Master KChief · « **Reply #17 on:** December 19, 2012, 05:10:24 PM »

And a shoe deck box to compliment them. The shoe even zips up.

Master KChief · « **Reply #18 on:** December 19, 2012, 05:41:44 PM »

I have some sets of deck boxes that do that, 4 per each panorama. Rook did series like that awhile back. Not sure if they're still in business though.

Master KChief · « **Reply #19 on:** December 19, 2012, 05:53:11 PM »

Various fantasy characters like warriors, angels, fairies, etc. The set I used to take to Redemption tournaments back in the day was the Angel set by Rebecca Guay (famous MtG artist). Looks like this:

Master KChief · « **Reply #20 on:** December 19, 2012, 06:23:15 PM »

I believe I ordered them off their website back then. I checked and they're still around (google myrook). They also carry lots of other quality 'steel storage' products, such as Deck View deck boxes (clear window on front of deck box so you can see the deck inside), Deluxe deck boxes (steel deck box that holds 110 sleeved cards, great for Type 2 decks), and Endura steel carrying cases (steel 'briefcases' that hold deck boxes). They also carry steel storage for Miniatures games as well. Little note of warning, a few of the deck boxes in the Artist Series (deck boxes with art on them) are NSFW.

How do you make your own? Do they look professional and turn out looking the same?

KingLeo · « **Reply #23 on:** December 23, 2012, 01:41:50 PM »

Well there more flexible then regular sleeves but they aren't shiny but people seem to like them (I know I do)

We have a Kodac printer and it cost about fifteen dollars plus the cheap clear sleeves for one hundred
