What are some good sleeves I can buy for cheap for regionals. They have to be completely solid because some of the cards in the deck are not in mint condition. I do not want to buy the pokemon ones because they have no extras in case one breaks. Any suggestions on good sleeves to play with?
 
Or you can get the Japanese one's from BrianJapan on eBay...that's what I use one my 2 out of 6+ decks.
But on my main deck I use Dragon Sheild, which has lasted me 10 years now & their still going stong :)
 
dont use dragon shield. terrible. use players choice or kmc. those are hands down, the BEST sleeves available.
 
I like the ultra pro sleeves. They're nice a sleek, and they last me a long time so far.
 
It's best to just go cheap and get some Ultra-Pros. You can switch out any that break during the tournament. We did this for states, only two sleeves broke during the tournament, and none have broken since then.

Or, you could pay a little more for KMC/some equally good brand and not have to deal with splits at all. Seriously, I've never had a KMC sleeve split, ever.

definitely NOT. have you used players choice/kmc before?
altho PC > KMC

I currently have a set of KMC sleeves on my card, because my FLGS ran out of Dragon Shields. I can't say the quality is any better.

However, I can say the Player's Choice sleeves that I've used were worse than even Ultra-Pro sleeves. I don't know how you could say they are better than Dragon SHield or KMC.

lol, then idk what to say, because every player who has used good sleeves knows that PC and KMC are the BEST sleeves to use for any type of card game.

I will agree about the quality of KMC sleeves. However, my local gaming store stopped carrying player's choice all together because the quality was worse than the Ultra-Pro sleeves. I've found Dragon Shield and KMC sleeves to be the most popular, and I am happy to use either.
 
I do love KMC, but the Super KMC are not too great IMO. I like the Mat KMC. They last soo much longer then super kmc.
 
I ended up buying 60 Players choice sleeves and 1 of them was defective so I had to buy 80 KMC sleeves which lasted me throughout the tournament. Thanks for all the recommendations.

Yeah, Super's still pretty good, but definitely not their best line. They seem to pick up surface damage much quicker than other KMC styles.
