I have the Turquoise Dragon Shields and they are starting to wave at the top of the sleeve and i cant stand that. i recently put my deck in KMC hyper Matte double sleeved but i dont like the feel. Are there certain color dragon shields that wont get wavy at the top of the sleeve? Or a better sleeve over all.
Uhhh Dragon Shields are among the best sleeves. I have green ones that also started to wave a little at the top. Sorry, I'm not sure what to suggest. You could try KMC sleeves? I have heard they're great, but never used them personally.

Yeah that happens with age. Pretty Un avoidable unless you collect sleeves like you collect cards.

How long have you had the Dragonshields for? Dragonshields are the best sleeves in my opinion, and they can last a while without showing any signs of age or deterioration.

the sleeves went through 2 or 3 tournaments and some play testing... im very careful with my sleeves as i want them to last. i love dragon shields i just dont want the tops to start waving after 2 or 3 weekends.

Weird, I've never had that issue. I've owned some Dragonshields for almost 4 years now and they still haven't been damaged other than some small scuffing.
I would say to try out another color and see if the same thing happens. If it is, you might just be a little aggressive with your shuffling and most sleeves will do the same.

I had the same issue with Blue dragonshields and hated it so I switched to some black KMC sleeves. Eventually those began to have the same issue so I just chalked it up to "that's how sleeves get". Do you remove/replace cards in those sleeves often? I thought maybe that was my problem and that I was ever so slightly stretching the opening.
Giggity.

i guess so and no i dont replace cards often i have a ton of sets of sleeves. my standard deck is usually in the same sleeves for a while. with minimal changes and if i make a new deck i get new sleeves. Turquoise have had the issue. seems like the Shields that have the more thick feel to it like green purple and black dont really wave at the top. im not sure.

I didn't know there was actually a difference between the colors, honestly.

This should be in the 'Gear' forum... Tagging Epochalyptik and ChiefBell.
