I get KMC perfect fits even in the US. Only rarely do they have a speck sized dent in a few of them. But I couldn't tell if that was my fault or theirs. They're great sleeves. I was considering using clear dragon shield, but I may try the KMC Hypermats. Thanks for the thorough overview!
I feel like I knew about sleeves until I watched this video. What a great breakdown of the proper sleeving process. Thank you and keep the content coming
It's interesting to hear that there are many people using KMC combos outside Japan. I knew the perfect fits were popular but never new that the hypermats were also popular!
It is worth noting that single sleeving cards is perfectly fine. The reason prefect fits were invented is really the reason why we don't need them anymore. Everyone is hyper aware of leaving drinks on tables and in the future there will be infinitely more NM cards than anything less than that.
When i came back In 2017 to Mtg I watched the professors box storage and sleeves videos. And I have used the kmc Perfect fit since, and combine with dragon shield I dont Think it gets any better 🤗
Hell ya, the dry box is good tech, I'll have to get one for my TCG collections (currently MtG and FaB, but hoping to add Sorcery to the list as I'm done with MtG). Would you be willing to do videoes talking about specific Avatars, Artifacts, Sites, ect? and explain uses, comboes and nonboes maybe?
Thanks for watching! Yes, I will be going through ALL the cards and be making remarks to combos, rules, card ratings etc in coming episodes. I am going to start making those videos once I get the real cards though as just showing TTS card images are pretty boring! In about a month, you will be seeing tons of episodes released so stay tuned!
Great video! Could you provide some more details on your dry box? I've actually been looking for a commercially available solution for water vapor permeability testing (not related to card games ;P)
Though there are several brands selling these dry boxes, I am pretty sure that there are OEM manufactured from models made in China and therefore fundamentally the same lol. You can look up 200-DGDRY003 and compare it with other stuff and should come to the same conclusion. It works though, that's the important part!
The rounded corners are nice but inside a sleeve I won’t lie I don’t love how much of the shield sleeve you can see in the corners. I’ll get used to it I’m sure.
If anybody knows where to buy KMC Strong Hard, please comment. Out of Stock everywhere for months. I use them for foil cards. Triple sleeving in kmc perfect hard, then in dragon shield sleeve with KMC Strong Hard over them really helps to mitigate curling in MTG foil cards. I wonder how big of a problem curling will be for Sorcery. Also Dragon Shield offers sealable inner sleeves, which are great for cards you frequently switch between your decks, but they are super tuned for MTG card size, even slight difference in size creates a buldge at the bottom. And sorcery cards are a lil bit bigger than MTG ones.
Hi! Is there a reason why you sleeve your collector/high value cards differently than your sample cards or why you sleeve your sample cards specifically like that? Also in terms of protection would you say that the your double sleeve top load is the best for high value cards - $200 and above?
Yeah I protect my sample cards with double sleeve + toploader for maximum protection and I don't want to clump it in a binder. This is probably the best method for me as its cheap and protects it from moisture too. Other cards I just sleeve and binder it as its something I want to look through.
Thanks. I have not collected cards since I was a kid which was Urzas Legacy precon - my first purchase. Just heard about sorcery so I bought a few boxes for fun. This was a helpful video trying to remember how to properly store cards. Looking back at all of my damaged and worn gaea's cradles is funny since since as a kid I had no idea what I was doing.@@wizardsden666
Good showcase of sleeves. Even though I live in the states, I have gone out of my way for many years to get the KMC sleeves you mentioned just because I like them more than readily available sleeves in my country. However, please keep in mind that while double sleeving a card into a perfect sleeve and then into a hypermat is completely fine if you plan on playing with the card (in fact, it's probably the best sleeve combo and exactly what I do to cards I play with), you should NOT be doing this on cards you plan on grading. I have lots of experience grading cards with Beckett, PSA, and CGC across multiple games and these perfect fit sleeves WILL drop your edges and surface down by 0.5-1 point across the board. You won't see the surface and edge damage that it causes when you look at the card with the naked eye, but the grading companies WILL see it under a magnifying glass. Is that the end of the world? No, but if you pull a card and don't plan on ever playing with it, there is zero reason to put it in a perfect sleeve. The best way to sleeve a card for grading is to first blow off the surface with an air duster, slide carefully into a penny sleeve where there is plenty of space on all sides, and then into a card saver that locks the card in place so it doesn't move. Top loader is okay as well, but some argue that top loader allows the card to slide around more potentially damaging the surface.
I understand. That is why for trading stuff, I keep it in the standard sized penny sleeve that I showed somewhere I explained about the standard sized stuff. I don't grade any of my cards, and keeping in perfect fits makes sense as I can just swap all my cards without taking sleeves out.
@@bricknovice4035 I just take one of those canned air dusters for computer keyboards and lightly spray on both sides of the cards. The point is to just blow off the fine dust off the surface before putting it into a sleeve to reduce the chance of scratches if the card moves around in the sleeve
I used HS-40 produced by a Japanese company named "goot". You can see how I used it in this video ruclips.net/video/u6RnA-TDbIo/видео.html Hope that helps!

The dry box killed me! ahahah fantastic job.
You liked the dry box eh? lol
Need to bring the extreme solutions!
@@wizardsden666 sleeves for sleeves!? impressive 🔥🔥
You need to protect the cute illustrations lol
@@wizardsden666 lol
I feel like I knew about sleeves until I watched this video. What a great breakdown of the proper sleeving process. Thank you and keep the content coming
Thanks! Great to hear it helped! Stay tuned for more episodes!
By far the best how to play ive watched so far
Great to hear that! Hope you enjoy Sorcery!
Great Video about the Sleeves....thx Den 😊
Glad it helped!
Thank for this video man! I was gonna ask in the discord what everyone will be using, I will be picking these up asap before my Alpha boxes arrive!
No problem! Good idea to get them before the boxes arrive as everyone might scramble to get them lol
That's my favorite combination too. They perfect fits with hyper mat are also really pleasing to handle.
It's interesting to hear that there are many people using KMC combos outside Japan. I knew the perfect fits were popular but never new that the hypermats were also popular!
That box at the end blew my mind.
I have to bring it to extreme for everything!
It is worth noting that single sleeving cards is perfectly fine. The reason prefect fits were invented is really the reason why we don't need them anymore. Everyone is hyper aware of leaving drinks on tables and in the future there will be infinitely more NM cards than anything less than that.
Once I get used to it, I can no longer go back to single sleeving lol.

KMC perfect fits are indeed probably the best perfect fits!
Thanks I just ordered a dry box !
Cool! Hope it will fit all the collections you have!
Yeah KMC Perfect Fit inners and Hyper Mat outers are a great combination. +1 to your recommendations! Great guide!
KMC fans! There are more KMC fans than I thought there were! Thanks for watching!
Great video, I learned a lot!

Cool Ill take my sorcery deck with me when I come to Japan next time play!
Awesome! Let me know when you are visiting near Kyoto!
Super helpful video!!
Awesome to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Dry box for the win!
Dry box as the obscure solutions of the day!

Watch out for KMC HARD on sorcery cards as I showed in the video. It bends the cards
Do you have a case recommendation for housing a sorcery booster box?
I don't as I just keep them as is in the original case box.

SOS please tell me the name and brand of the booster pack case product you showed (you didnt mention the name in the vid)
Try looking up "Full protect packcase", I think that should show some results on ebay too. Let me know if it didn't work.

@@wizardsden666 thank so much sir!!
I Double sleeve using dragon shield 360 perfect fit sleeves and normal dragon shield matte sleves.
Thanks for sharing your sleeves! Dragon shields are great sleeves but its rather uncommon in Japan.
FIRST !!! did you see purge juggernaut? Was that an unknown card
Yep! That I already guesses it would exist which I showed in the last episode!

I'm promoted! lol
I was going to promote it when I reach 1k subs lol.
