BCW Double Matte Sleeves

Another top-quality outer sleeve. Many people prefer the Katanas for a smoother shuffle than the Dragon Shield Mattes. Though just as an aside regarding table conditions, we’d highly recommend always using a play mat, whether you’re sorting through your card collection or playing a game with your cards. Truthfully, if you like ETB sleeves, then use them! Who cares what others think? If you’re worried about damage, then use an inner sleeve first.

When using cards for the game on a regular basis, wear and tear is a big thing, you don’t want your sleeves ripping, or getting slippery as this could case damage to your trading cards. Bottom Line: While these ultra-thin penny sleeves won’t appeal to everyone, they offer a great deal of protection for their low cost and thin design. Also, their glossy finish does little to distract from the artwork or text on your game cards. Final Thoughts This is a specialty type of sleeve only made by the brand Dragon Shield, but worth mentioning. They’ve come up with a way to sleeve your card and seal it from all four sides. The design is unique and quite genius. However, I have seen some hardcore collectors put down magnetic card holders because they say your cards’ corners can get damaged. They suggest buying the ones where you can fit the card in a penny sleeve first and then in the magnetic holder.

Work slowly and deliberately – This is not a time to mutli-task, rush, or anything else that may keep you from giving the task at hand your full attention. If the whole idea behind you using penny sleeves is to provide a small amount of protection to your card, then they are great. They can stop your cards from becoming damaged while they are being stored. It also helps to keep your cards together. For example, a lot of people will store playsets of 4 cards in a single penny sleeve, just to make their life a little bit easier. Still one of the most well known and popular names when it comes to trading card protection and storage, I think it’s fair to say that Ultra Pro have been usurped a bit in terms of value and features when it comes to premium trading card sleeves.Also known as ‘slim-fit’, or ‘pro-fit’ sleeves, perfect-fit just means that the sleeve is the same size as the card. A standard-size sleeve is slightly bigger, in comparison. These penny sleeves offer a great deal of protection for their budget price and are ideal for game cards. While penny sleeves do offer some mild protection against corner damage, creasing, or other more serious damage, they do not offer the same level of protection as top loaders or card savers. Two of the hobby's most respected makers of card protection, storage and display products, Ultra Pro and BCW Supplies, use acid free plastics.

They’re not the cheapest options on the market, that’s for sure – but they do have some great features that keep them high in our estimation. It’s worth mentioning semi-rigid and rigid sleeves. These are a little bit different but ultimately belong to the same family of card protection. Both are to be used with a card that has already been sleeved, otherwise, damage could occur. Card Savers (Semi-rigid)] A card in a penny sleeve fits neatly in a number of different vertically oriented cardboard storage box options, such as monster boxes. Cards in penny sleeves do not fit well into horizontally oriented storage boxes such as those used to store sets. With a huge selection of coloured sleeves in both Matte and Gloss finishes, Dragon Shield offer one of the best sleeve ranges on the market.Penny sleeves are the soft card holders. They’re dirt cheap (hence the name penny sleeve) and they fit fairly snugly around the card.
