Double sleeves

Gear forum

Posted on Sept. 1, 2014, 9:52 p.m. by TheGamer

So, a couple days ago i bought some pro fit sleeves and put them on a $1000 deck. I noticed that it really bent the cards a lot. I know a lot of people mind it, but i personally HATE it when my cards get bent. Like when someone riffle shuffles my deck i get so sad...

Anyway, whats up with this? Whats the point of pro fits? I was under the impression it stops them from bending but i guess not. Or did i get the wrong kind? Clarity here plz?

I've only used the KMC ones, and they've never given me any problems.

Get the KMC perfect fit and use either KMC or DragonShields to sleeve them. I perfer Dragon Shield, but that's just me

The Ultra pro perfect fits are actually too small, and warp the cards to fit in them.

Don't use them.

I've always used KMCs, and I can't complain. My friend's KMCs are still in great condition, even after over a year of consistent use.

This video should explain everything that you need to know about the different pro fit sleeves.

there are cheap clear card sleeves a little thicker than penny sleeves that dont have the flared edges and are form fitted to standard cards. These fit well into ultra pro and dragonsheilds and give more flexibility without making the double sleeved cards stiff and causing the sleeves to interact in a kind of kinking fashion that can actually damage the cards shape and cause stress cracking to often flexed surface area's of the card. Go to a sportscard shop and find these low grade clear sleeves for traders and use them as inserts in your favorite sleeves. Again I am not talking penny sleeves that feel like little sandwich bags.
