Card Sleeves that fit?
« on: April 06, 2014, 12:04:16 PM »
Hi First time here and I have a question about card sleeves. What type is the best fit to allow for the cards to still fit into the tome slots, but not get the sleeves stuck in the slots? Also what is the mm size of the card sleeves that fit best?

I would like to protect the new cards for as long as possible.

Thanks!
Robert

I really like the Ultra-Pro Pro-Matte sleeves. They are easier to pull out of your spellbook. I have used the regular Ultra-Pro's and Dragon Shields. They both work well, though the Dragon Shields are a bit tall, but not much. Of course the only down side to the Ultra's is the little silver hologram at the bottom of the sleeves....

Do you know the exact mm size that's written on the packaging of the sleeves? (mm x mm) I see all kinds of sizes but am not sure of the exact size that is needed. Thanks for the reply.

Yes the regular mattes are good but I am loving the Hypers. I also use side load binders for my tourney books.

I have seen too many miss cuts from Dragon shield to trust the line

I used a few dragon a long time back for MTG cards and had the same problem with different sized sleeves in the same pack even..(not sure how they managed that one)

Which being twice as expensive as everyone else is totally unacceptable!

I have never had any problems with them being mis-sized or splitting on me

I would consider yourself to be the one and only...lol Glad they worked for ya.
Me I've had bad experiences so I will not be getting those, of course there are bad days on any assembly line so I suppose other brands could also be crap.

Luckily I buy a lot through Amazon so returns are a snap.

I make two people then. I've never had trouble with them. Though I have known a few people who've had small issues with them. But all the extra sleeves they ended up with in the pack fixed it.

In a case I have seen 5 different sizes.
