Title: Card Sleeve Question
Post by: LukeChips on December 11, 2014, 02:20:20 PM
What kind of card sleeves (ultra pro, Dragon shield, Legion etc.) is the best for Redemption and/or any other TCG? I've heard that Dragon Shield is the best, but those sleeves are really slippery. Anyone have any insight?

I usually use Ultra Pro sleeves, but that's primarily because I take them from the ones I use for other TCGs, lol. Ultra Pros are sturdy and rarely break, and aren't super slippery.

I have no experience with any other sleeves (except some really cheap ones I used to use when I played Yu-Gi-Oh!, but they don't fit much else as YGO cards are so skinny).

I used to use Ultra pro sleeves, but then the corners bent and I switched over to Legion and then on to Dragon Shield... I still use all my other sleeves for my sub-par decks, because they are, sub-par lol ;)

If I'm not looking for something with a design, UltraPro Pro-Matte is always my choice (for Redemption or other games I need sleeved).  Never had one rip when putting a single card in, very durable, and shuffling them is easy and fast with the matte.

Otherwise, I like anything Fantasy Flight Games makes when I look for designed sleeves.

Thank you! I totally forgot that some of my designed sleeves are from FFG. I agree that they are good quality as well.

I used to like designs on my cards, but then they didn't match up with the deck I made, so now I just use Dragon Shield because they are soooo durable!
