    Playing with expensive cards

    How are you folks doing it?
    Is double sleeving enough if you play Beta Power?

    Very well protected... as long as they survive the carbon freezing process.

    Yes. There do exist triple sleeves but that's kind of overkill. I'm usually more concerned about picking what Vintage events I go to and keeping an eye on my cards while I'm there.

    I play a lot of Old School / 94 and in order to really capture the essence and feel of the time i usually just unsleeve everything and riffle shuffle up that shit. Feels like real living.

    Meh. If you're worried about the condition of your cards after the rigors of game play, just play Ironman.

    i riffle shuffle always, and i have never damaged my cards so far. but, i have done such an extreme upgrading over the past years, that my vintage deck is close to 6 figures. no i use perfect hards instead of normal perfect sizes, and i use a triple sleeving aswell. makes the deck thicker but really does the job well. i already have an idea for the next sleeve pimp, but i have to do some more digging =)

    If you can't afford to riffle shuffle it you shouldn't be playing it.

    Yes it's 2 card monte, I play it for fun. Sideboard needs work, the leylines in the board aren't worth their slots.
