Are these any good? I noticed they only come in packs of 50, which is totally stupid. Anyways, I was just asking are there any problems with these sleeves such as ripping or breaking?
Meaty said:You can just look at the packs of 50 sleeves from the sides and make sure you buy two that have the same color on the edges.
Meaty said:I actually found the Platinum sleeves to be terrible quality. And to everyone saying it's annoying to buy 2 packs of 50 sleeves, well here's a purpose for the 40 extra sleeves: bring them to a prerelease and put your prerelease deck in them so that you don't have to get either your new sleeves or your new cards ruined already. And I just don't open my PR sleeves until there's a tournament, because I don't want to wreck my sleeves and have to buy new ones at a tournament because the TO said they weren't ok. I just use different sleeves like the plain color Ultra Pro ones at league and then the night before a tourney I put my deck in 60 fresh untouched sleeves so my deck's good to go.
qnetykz said:I tend to go to 2-3 PR's so I never really have that problem, as I just open the pack of sleeves from the 1st one I got to, and then use those same sleeves throughout the other 2...so I 2 fresh unopened packs...and the only sleeves I ever had a problem ruining were the SV ones, the corners just started peeling like crazy...the PT ones, I've never had a problem with, but I will admit the quality is about the same as the SF ones, and those aren't the best quality wise of the PR sleeves...but they are loads better than the SV's
the only Ultra-Pro sleeves that I really like aren't allowed to be played in tournaments...and once I sleeve a deck, it will stay in those sleeves until I find sleeves that better identify with the deck or until I stop running the deck and take it apart
Meaty said:Well I can't afford spending 75$ or driving so much (by "I can't afford" I mean my mom can't lol) for prereleases, one is enough already, so I don't exactly have 180 sleeves. And I have the SV sleeves but have actually never used them. I guess I won't bother, if they are that bad. And for some odd reason, seeing the green scratch way too easily and are slippery(good for shuffling though), the red standard ultra pro sleeves have been rather durable for me, providing I'm careful.

I dunno about you, but I'm buying.
I think these sleeves are decent quality, and they're similar to DP prerelease sleeves. They are pretty much the same with those Ape/Terra/Empo sleeves with the silhouettes of Dialga, Palkia, etc. at the bottom.
