Just discovered your channel and just want to say thanks for what you do as this is all such helpful info especially to someone like myself thats just now collecting pokemon cards with my daughter so it's a little hard to know how to go about protecting like with sleeves, top loaders, binders etc and your really helpful with all this. Wish you and the channel the best and I'll be sure to check out every video!
I wish you did some coverage of the holographic sleeves. The quality on them varies dramatically and it could be entertaining. It also would be useful for those of us that want to try and use a double sleeved setup to have a 'holo' inner sleeve. I see lots of conflicting info on the holo sleeves and which ones even can fit with double sleeving depending out the sizing and all that ofc.
Which one is the most rigid ? Because even though I have toploaders, the regular ultrapro sleeves are not enough for my Pokémon cards, they keep on curving and I want to avoid that.
I know there are extra thick sleeves available but each of the sleeves I tested in this video are more or less the same regarding flexibility. You could try double-sleeving your cards to lock out any moisture
I took the dive back into pokemon cards, and I've picked up a couple of booster boxes. Now, I'm going through a couple videos people seem to be on the fence about perfect fit sleeves. Some people say to stay away from them. Some say it really doesn't matter. Any guidance would be appreciated.
I think the controversy over perfect-fit sleeves comes from various manufacturers, both for sleeves and cards. There are too many factors at play. My advice is to find a brand that fits Pokémon cards and stick with them. I've been using Ultra Pro Pro Fit lately and they work fine. I have some $1,000+ cards in perfect-fit sleeves and they are perfectly safe.
@@urFriendlyNeighbors Sometimes I will double sleeve a card so it fits into the binder page pocket a little tighter, making sure it can't fall out or come loose.
Do you recommend perfect fit sleeves or regular penny sleeves for binder storage? I heard some people say any sleeve is fine while others swear by perfect fits. This is assuming the binder is high quality of course.
It's entirely up to you. I've heard all kinds of opinions but at the end of the day, everyone uses what they prefer the most. I like perfect fit sleeves but if I run out, I'll use regular penny sleeves.
Great video.
I personally use Dragon Shield perfect fit sleeves and their deck/matte sleeves. Absolutely love their quality
Dragon shield also makes Yu-Gi-Oh size sleeves

Thanks for your tips..I'm new to sleeving and this video helped me decide on my sleeve strategy. Cheers.
Welcome to the hobby!
Thanks for this video!
Gonna go purchase some sleeves rn
No problem!!
Great video. I've always used ETB sleeves for my pokemon cards. No issues, but I could see there being a problem if you take them in and out a lot

Opinion on kmc perfect fit sleeves?
I tried some and they felt fine to me, pretty much identical to ultra pro
thank you!!
Thank you for watching and subscribing! I appreciate it
Thank you for the video
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!
New collectors here, should I use inner sleeves too ? So i can use sleeve like that
It’s up to you. Using inner sleeves can be beneficial but most people just use regular sleeves
@@sleevenocardbehind I personally wanna put my cards into the Binder

@@sleevenocardbehind Great, thank you for your response
Which sleeves are the most translucent to really bring out the cards’ holo foil?
Probably ultra pro standard sleeves!
@@sleevenocardbehind You mean the penny or the perfect ?
@@mephisto-- If they're by the same brand I'd assume they have the same clarity
@@sleevenocardbehind Oh I get that, but not sure tbh
