I know. Another card sleeve thread… I’ve gone back and researched them all on here. But as formulas change and new products are released I’m genuinely interested in knowing others opinions on how they care for their cards. (I know you don’t like binders Gary
I’m a binder collector and want to know what you like to use for sleeving your cards.
Do you like to double sleeve? Do you think perfect fits are made by Satan himself?
Also a binder collector, and I use these Quiver penny sleeves. They’re slightly more rigid than most penny sleeves, which makes me less nervous I’m going to screw up and bend something putting cards in the binder.
Side loading Ultra Pro Pro-Binders with Penny Sleeves works like a charm. Only downside is that the corners of the Penny Sleeves can fold over if you wanna do it all to much in a hurry which looks shabby. Double Sleeving I just don’t get…
From someone who has tried many sleeves and spent countless hours double sleeving everything, just go with penny sleeves. They are more than adequate for side loading binders and down the line if you wish to remove the card from the binder and sleeve you will have zero issues.
I actually am just starting another binder right now. I have multiple binders with different setups. For my Base set collection onward, I use the ETB sleeves inside a side loading binder because I like the silver border it gives around the cards. For my modern Ultra Rares binder, I have one of those Pokemon branded binders that come with clear pages that hold 180? cards. I do double sleeve with a perfect fit + penny sleeve for that binder. Finally, the new binder I’m working on is a second Collector’s Album 3" D ring binder for all my old random holos, reverse foils, and rares. The pages I got with this binder don’t take penny sleeves well so I’m just using perfect fit sleeves only. I’m going with this binder because it allows growth for my collection. As long as you open and close it properly, you don’t have to worry about your cards getting messed up. My first Collector’s Album is holding some World of Warcraft cards and it’s been doing just fine.
