What's your card sleeve for games?
5 years ago
WELL, lo and behold, no sooner than have I purchased enough Fantasy Flight card sleeves to sleeve out my recently acquired collection of two thousand or so lord of the rings cards, than I hear it going around on the internet that FFG is discontinuing their production of sleeves.
*insert monty python 'you make me sad'.gif' here*
SO.
...any of y'all got opinions on what a good, alternative go-to for sleeves would be? I like 'em transparent, 'cause with a lot of cards you need to see the flip side of them. The Fantasyflight sleeves had a good feel to them- they weren't TOO slippery or shiny or thick, and they had a nice feel like they weren't crinkling up just from touching them.
I heard Fantasyflight was moving its connection over to gamegenic and that a few people recommended those, BUT:
A: I had a weirdly difficult time finding clear, standard-size sleeves for them? They had lots of coloured, matte-back cards, and lots of choices for variable sizes, but gosh darn, was a little tough just finding a regular standard size.
and B: Their website doesn't actually SELL their sleeves, just advises you what locations in your area you could buy them. ...and need I even say why buying things online is a necessity these days?
BUT IN ANY CASE, for all you gamers out there, what's your recommended brand of sleeves?

I personally use dragon shield for my magic cards, and I know they make clear ones.

OP
D'you know anything about their 'sealable' sleeves? I saw that turn up in a search, and am curious

I haven't tried them myself, friend of mine likes them, but I have a lot of the pro fit sleeves from ultra pro I use on high end stuff and then sleeve on top of that.

you can try the eclipse sleeves from card kingdom, quite a few youtube channels use them for their card games such as game knights

I swear by Dragon Shield, but much the same as the earlier comment, I don't have experience with sealable sleeves.

Dragon shield, Ultra Pro and KMC are all pretty good. Since you want them clear anyway there isn't even a big difference between them, heh.

Yeah it depends on what size you need. For everything I've needed, dragon shield has been top notch. Played them for years now on yugioh ^^

Usually any I can find that both fit the cards I want to sleeve and have good reviews to them. Seems like others have more specific suggestions though.

Dragon shield sleeves are my personal favourite, the eclipse sleeves from ultra pro are also very good
