    Card Sleeves

    What brand of sleeves are you using for the new set?

    I had been using ultra-pro, but the new cards are slightly too wide to fit.......

    Is anyone else having the same problem?

    I used to use ultra pro all the time, but some clown decided to make their standard line smaller which doesnt work well for dbg's. I use strictly fantasy flight sleeves now., but they can be a pain to find, since the dont have regular production runs.

    The Ultra Pro Matte sleeves are what I am currently using, they shuffle easy and are durable. More so than other Ultra Pro sleeves, just better quality in general and don't cost as much as the steel rose sleeves.
    Never tried Fantasy Flights sleeves, are they sized bigger?
    Still angry Mercenaries 3D isn't a console update.

    I'm still using normal Ultra Pros, since I had to change all the sleeves when they introduced their "new size" about a year or so ago. They're not the best quality for sure, but they're cheap en masse and get the job done well enough. The Mercenaries cards fit tighter, but they still manage to fit, and that's good enough for me. My preferred sleeves? Dragon Shield or KMC.

    Haven't got my new set yet, but I ordered enough Dragon Shields a while back to go through this set and potentially the next one.

    I havent had any issues with Fantasy flight myself. I never did dragon shield since they were more expensive.
    Fantasy flights are wide enough, but tend to be a tad taller than ultra pros.

    I use Swan Panasia sleeves and they fit perfectly.

    My Ultra Pro penny sleeves worked for me.

    Is that what happened? I use Fantasy Flight sleeves for my base, weapons, action cards, and Ultra Pro solid backed sleeves for the mansion and characters (so I can use custom characters/infected if I want). When I went to buy some more Ultra Pro purple backed sleeves for my mansion, the first pack was so tight that it was actually bending my infected cards slightly. I went and bought another pack of sleeves and it was slightly better, but still REALLY tight. If I changed the sleeve type, I'd have to go back and resleeve every Mansion deck in every set.

    Anyway I would avoid Ultra Pro like the plague if anybody is just starting out with sleeving. The fantasy flight sleeves are really nice, but they are a bit big for the cards.

    I use UltraPro penny sleeves, and it's partially on principle. Man I love the thicker, more durable ones, but I don't want to spend the price of two or three complete sets just to sleeve all my cards.
