Do you double sleeve your cards?

[kingsey]

I'm debating if its worth it. I only really play 1.5 so the cards in a deck are FBB duals, Force of will, most cards are 20 dollars plus.

Anyone else with more expensive decks running the perfect fit double sleeves?

IF you do what sleeves do you use with them'?

[Mark Sun]

I do, and my cards aren't NM/FBB/pimp. I just think it's good practice. I got a set of 80 KMC Matte (Navy Blue, not shiny, the shiny versions are terrible) at an SCG Open and I haven't looked anywhere else since for sleeves.

Yes, and perfect fits can fit inside KMCs, most Ultra Pros, and Dragon Sleeves. I think the matte KMCs are the best for this.

It does make shuffling a bit more of a pain, but I think the extra protection is worth the trade off. Too many horror stories of people spilling drinks.

[GGoober]

do most pros double-sleeve decks? From what I've seen their decks don't look too fat. Is there a reason for Matt over Super sleeves for KMC when it comes to double sleeving? The Matt sleeves have cracked on me, and Super has lasted most of the time, so I've been leaning to Super versions.

I bought some matt KMC's in gold and perfect size sleeves at Saturday. As I came back from the shop I found myself unable to fit the perfect size sleves into the KMC's. The KMC's I bought are so damn tight on their own that you couldnt fit even a single hair in addition in it. Sure, I am a bit exaggerating, but it is literally impossible to fit the perfect size in these. Its like trying to fit a banana into a beer bottle without damaging one of both... .
Is this just me or had someone else the same problem? I would be really interested. The perfect size fit perfectly into Dragon Shields and Ultra-Pro sleeves of mine but not in those damn KMC.

I am beginning to double-sleeve every deck I have duals, forces, wastes, etc. in. If there's ever a chance your cards will change ownership, do the people who come after you, and your wallet, a favor.

I usually double sleeve. Among other things to ease changing sleeves without risking to damage the cards. This is nice as I resleeve cards between various legacy decks as well as EDH decks.

[CranialX]

I know this is excessive sleeving but i am proud of this.

My practice with my Vintage Card. Perfect size sleeves + Normal Sleeves + Penny Sleeves + Top Loader.

When i sell my cards the buyer never ask me why the condition of the card like this. even poor ones.
They know i am very careful with card.

With Legacy Cards. Perfect size Sleeves + Normal Sleeves.
I might change to Perfect size sleeves + Normal Sleeves + Penny Sleeves + Semi Rigid.

What kind of deck box do you use when you have a double sleeve deck?? My 75 double sleeved cards did not fit in ION Deck box..

[warallthetimne]

i like the ultra pro matte sleeves. i use the perfect fits and have never had an issue loading them into the ultra pro mattes. i also use the larger ultra pro deck boxes with the magnetic cover and easily fit my 75 cards plus a sb divider and 6 sleeved creature tokens for my deck. i wish the perfect fit existed 15 years ago my older cards would have looked much better.

I don't double sleeve since it's a pain to shuffle like that. I haven't had a problem with scuffing, but I think that's due to the way I shuffle. I don't bend the crap out of them or really put them through a lot. I probably should double sleeve them, but I never seem to find those perfect fits easily.

It's a tight fit (I'll pause so all the perverts can make their jokes), but it works.

I'm using the two-deck box thing from Ultra Pro (for those of you who went to GP Nashville, it's that type of deckbox that was handed out). Dice in the upright one, deck in the sideways one. No problems yet.

I use 2 of these and one of the gold ones that was a promo give away for a while for my Double Sleeved decks, they work fine.

There are many different versions of this, but it works well.

hey thats my deck box

[Offler]

I do.

I play highlander with cards from my blue card collection. I got the japanese KMC "perfect size" sleeves and the silver Max protection ones.

One friend of mine is totally freak. He bought the most expensive standard size sleeves and the "Perfect size". Single card is covered with price of 1 Euro in sleeves :D

I think its best for people who use to play with older, or valuable cards. It will preserver their price and quality.

I don't. I just use KMC mattes, I have a set of perfect fits, but decks feel too bulky to me when double sleeved.

I just try to be sort of careful with shuffling, use a playmat, and play on clean surfaces. Haven't really run into trouble yet.

[RaNDoMxGeSTuReS]

I double sleeve my legacy decks. I use Ultro Pro green sleeves. They're easy to shuffle and don't make the decks as "fatter" as Dragon Shields or KMC's.

I tend to use perfect fits + ultra pro (mox diamond or mana symbol art) sleeves for my vintage deck and anything that plays a significant number of duals or other valuable cards. These sleeves tend to stay the flattest and are more durable than anything else I've used.

Some of my lesser value decks like Ichorid I just use KMC matt sleeves.

I had the same issue as "I am the brainwasher" with double sleeving KMC 80 packs. They used to fit perfectly in the old 100 packs, but must have shrunk with the latest production.

Although the deck does get a bit thicker, I do double sleeve and will do it to every deck I bring to a tournament. Cards are too expensive and valuable now a days, especially older ones that if they get ruined, are hard to come across. I think it just help protect cards better from spills as well as transferring them in and out of decks. It also helps foils stay flat from my experience.

[sdematt]

I double sleeve if I'm bringing the Pimp out. If I'm not, I regularly sleeve. My Humility Stax deck is double sleeved, but it has 4 Moats. My Rock deck with pimp duals will be double sleeved as well.

I've started to use KMC and haven't looked back since Dragonshields were discontinued.
