Card Sleeving

Do any brands other than Ultra Pro have stickers to ID them?

Sleeves must be all the same, not jst colour but by the same manufacturer, as every manufacturer will have a slightly different size (each their own "Patent"). Different sizes makes cheating while shuffling extremely easy. And as far as i know Ultra Pro is the only brand of non-decorated sleeves that can be proven to be all the same.

I use Lime Green Ultra Pro sleeves and keep them in a steel Deck Vault which keeps them very safe.

Think I have some of them, very shiney, they look great and at least they're readily distinguishable from the various other sleeves commonly used (there are only so many solid colour options and in reasonable size tournaments you're going to get a lot of people using the same colour as you). The fact that they're not a solid colour though means that they probably wouldn't be allowed at any of the really major tournaments. :(
Honestly a few bad eggs ruin it on the rest of us. :mad:

Hmm.. that's a shame, I don't really like being weighed down by stuff.

Whoa. Why do I have to scroll to the right to read what you wrote?

The scrolling is caused by Quack-Sama's location entry:

Location: winnipeg, manitoba, canada, north american, earth, the milky way... you get the idea right?

It's too long and the board code does not wrap it to the next line. Could you shorten it please?
 
Sleeves:

We've used all kinds of sleeves, but the best ones we've used are the Max Dragon Eye ones. Any Max sleeve is great. We won't use Ultra Pro anymore, however. Every second or so pack we get of Ultra Pro is garbage -- the bottom plastic fusing isn't complete and the cards end up falling through after a few uses. That probably explains why they give you 55 sleeves in a pack that is marked as 50. They assume 5 will be garbage. I've yet to find a bad sleeve in a Max pack.

Player also makes an okay sleeve, but they scratch easily.

My husband resleeves his cards once a week, so he goes through a lot of them.

I reviewed my PTO's Policy on Sleeves Yesterday...and Oddly enough He allows Double Sleeving, and Dragon Art. UDE's official Stance on Dragon Art Cards is they are legal but if a player wishes a Judge to look at the Deck to make sure its not marked before hand he may do so. But Hard Cases/Top Loaders are expressly forbidden due to the fact that little kids have a hard time shuffling as well as some of the more mature players thus not allowing for efficient Randomization. I guess its up to the PTO as what you can and cannot use.

Can you give me a link that shows the Max Dragon Eyes Sleeves? In the store I go to they only sell Ultra Pro. It seems like Ultra pro works fine. Nothin wrong with them.

Yepper! I buy all our sleeves at Collector's Cache now:

http://www.collectorscache.com/StoreModules/ShowCategory.aspx?CategoryID=389&tabid=9&tabindex=0


All of those pages at that link are for Yu-Gi-Oh sized cards.

Page 3 has the Neo Dragon Eye in blue, red (it's really more of a brown color), and green. There are also two new ones on that page: Neo Fire Dragon and Neo Ice Dragon. Page 4 has the new Neo Skulls in black, blue and red.

The Dragon Eye has to be the nicest sleeve I've ever used. They're thick, but not clumbsy feeling. The new Skulls are nice, but the edges are kinda "sharp" feeling. I sleeved my fiends in the Red Skulls and they look bloody :)

I haven't tried the Ice or Fire Dragons yet. We have a pack of each, but my daughter confiscated them :p

Well, maybe we have bad luck with the Ultra Pro. Dunno. All I know is that my husband is VERY picky about his sleeves and he goes through a LOT of them. I've bought 10 packs of Ultra Pro Fantasy Blue over the past month and 4 of those packs were bad. They were purchased at different places, so it isn't just an instance of one store getting bad product. Maybe they had a bad run on those sleeves or they were from a Monday/Friday batch :)

I use the Max sleeves with the skulls on them. Pretty cool. Black sleeves and when the light hits them just right, they look almost 3D.

BTW: If anyone is attending the regionals at Pandemonium on Sunday, they sell a great variety of sleeves, including the dragon eyes, the skulls, and the oversized ones for Magic with the cool scenes on them.
 
Damn i wish I could get those cool sleeves on that site. I use the ordinary Ultra Pro ones. But yours look cooler. I don't have a credit card so I can't order the sleeves and I don't know a place selling those.
 
i also use the ultra pro sleeves and box, but the ones i found are way cool...they have a picture of an angel/fairy holding a sword looking very autumny w/ matching sleeves...since i use a fairy deck, i thought it was appropriate...that and she looks really freakin' cool...
 
Honestly, i'm tired of shifting between sleeves so I decided to just go with plain blue sleeves, nothing fancy and stay with those.
 
the plastics i use are the holo ones that look like parallel rare cards

it make every ygo holo even more holo its awesome

i use gold pharoah ones for exodia
purple for skill drain
black holo for dark world
