Professor Pokéball & other sleeves question
- Thread starter Teal
- Start date
Those sleeves can be purchased in the Professor Store. I think they're...about 15 points? The sleeves aren't very pricy.
Supreme Victors sleeves are orange, with a blue Garchomp on the back and blue "Pokemon Organized Play" text+logo at the bottom. I can attest that the quality is very subpar.
Dusknoir sleeves = I think so
Arceus sleeves = Yes
Rotom = Not really
^all of the above is from personal experience; others may have had differing experiences

The Rotom sleeves have great quality, from what I've seen. (my friend was able to use them for at least 3 or 4 months before one of them broke)
The Arceus sleeves suck. Mine have less than a month's worth the use on them, and they frilled up around the edges after a little bit of use. Not to mention they broke very easily.
I have the Dusknoir sleeves, but I can't really vouch for how good or bad they are since I've only used them once.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the Garchomp sleeves have always been great to me, I have 2 or 3 sets of them because I use them for PRs, and most of them still look new.

From what I have googled after this:
- Garchomp (SV) sleeves are extremely hated and they are probably the worst sleeves ever
- SW and MT are at least almost as bad
- Rotom sleeves are good
- Dusknoir sleeves are good, but some of the sleeve sets are somewhat opaque (this doesn't matter as you can't play Japanese cards nowadays anyway, but it could imply that some are of worse quality... I hope I get good ones!)
- I think I have seen some people playing with Arceus sleeves recently-ish, so I would assume they are pretty durable
I'll buy one set of each of the Professor/Arceus/Dusknoir/Rotom slevees. I think the Rotom sleeves are absolutely gorgeus, but that's probably cause I really like Rotom.

There is a SV sleeve.
There is a SV sleeve.
The SV sleeves and Rotom prerelease sleeves are awful, they both broke left and right for me. The SV ones especially.
the Arceus and Dusknoir ones are great. I used the Dusknoir ones for years before they broke. The Regigigas ones are very similar to them, and are even better.

Oh wow, it looks like the quality of pre release sleeves are very inconsistent even within a set... >__<
I especially hope that the Rotom sleeves I'm going to buy will be of good quailty. I'd absolutely hate it if they broke quicky. ;__; If I start playing more (depends on how the X&Y TCG turns out) so I attend tournaments (this season I will only attend the Finnish Nationals with a loaned deck), I would probably use the Rotom ones only in tournaments...
I would have loved to buy some golden Regigigas sleeves, but they are sold out where I'm going to buy these (they have: Rotom, Arceus, Dusknoir, Weavile, Leafeon/Glaceon and Professor Pokéball). I also read that the Gigas ones are really good. :C
Right now I only own Giratina sleeves, and they are great. I have used them for years (not very heavily, though, but still), and I have had no problems.
Btw. it's a real shame that the Garchomp sleeves suck. I think they look great. I like the colors and my favourite deck has been Garchomp/Altaria for this whole season... ;A;

I have the Espeon/Umbreon (Undaunted) and Celebi (Triumphant) pre-release sleeves and I've used them for various decks. Currently I use them for the 2 Dutch decks that I've made for fun play between my partner and I. Though, personally, while I like the sleeves and I think they're fun, I'm more fond of using Japanese sleeves for decks because you get a few extra; with the prerelease sleeves, you only get 60, so if one breaks and gets lost, you're kind of screwed.

That's one of the reasons I only use Japanese sleeves. Plus they're A LOT more durable. I have a pair of Japanese black/blue Pokeball sleeves that lasted me 6 years before they started to break. (of course, there was times where I hadn't used them for a while, but you get the point)
