[DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks

I have an all-Chinese affinity deck, with a few foils.

Too bad affinity sucks.

Someone must have done it. Inspire me. I've seen mention of it in here, but I couldn't find the pics.

Regarding curling foils: Just use KMC perfect fit sleeves. I bought them last year to sleeve up my vintage deck which was becoming worth a bit of cash, and I noticed the sleeves prevented foils from curving.

Also regarding curling foils:

Don't use Dragon Sleeves. Plain and Simple.


I only use foils (or Beta's if they're an option.. sigh) and I've never had a foil curl. Ever. I don't use Dragon Shields because everyone I know that's used them has incurred the infamous curling.

Just use matte finish Ultra Pro's that come in the toploading cardboard box with a dragon on it. Your cards will thank you.

FWIW I also leave my cards in the car all the time and I live in Texas... heat has nothing to do with curl either, humidity might, but it's fairly humid here and like I said, I've never had a problem with it.

Regarding Perfect Fits-- How on earth are you using those? I sleeved one of my decks in the perfect fits and then regular KMC sleeves and my deck looked like it should be running 4x Battle of Wits! I couldn't shuffle at all because the sleeves were clumping. I just couldn't get em to work... and I even read the instructions!!!!

Weird, since I use the same Ultra Pro's as you.

I think you have to press the air out of them. You sleeve up your deck and just push down on the stack. Sometimes people ask me if my deck is more than 60 cards, but not too often. It's less than 1 cm taller than a normal deck.

I use Raven Black Ultra pros with Perfect Fits. Works fine. Deck is a little thick, but it flattens out over time.

That is exactly what I use. As mentioned, just compress the deck and air will come out. Over a few weeks the deck should drop down to like 15% bigger than one without em.

Someone post a pimp T.E.S deck. I'm sick of all this talking.

Not Jap Foil.

I find the mix of Japanese and Chinese kind of disappointing.

So those are old pics? Or not your cards?

Going by the Wrestler signed Tendrils, I would say old pics...

What? According to my knowledge, heat and moisture indeed have an effect on the curl as the foil-layer reacts to heat by expanding (well, nearly every solid matter does). But when it cools down, it shrinks which will intensify the mentioned curl effect.

Same is true for the moisture which slowly softens the cardboard. It will then deform irreversibly, thus you have a card which is curved forever.

Well, my UGW Threshold is still the same, except that my jap Coldsnap Brainstorms got watered down to jap Mercadian Masques and I now have fbb duals. I will post a pic tomorrow since I don't have time for it now. And this thread srsly needs more pictures instead of talking about crap decks.
