Protecting your cards
Psst - this was posted

I’ve used blackbacks, flapjacks, knick knack, and other brickabrack to protect my cards. I actually had a deck protected by hardbacks once (the kind of shells you put around hockey and baseball cards).

The two I’ve had the most luck with are blackbacks and the flimsy clear sleeves. I really like the flimsy ones for the ability to quickly change up their contents. The blackbacks just looked cooler and slowed down deck creation.

It’s been a few years since I’ve had to consider sleeves for cards and I want to make sure that I get the best sleeves to protect my cards.

That’s why I want your advice. What do you suggest I protect my deck with - a fancy set of sleeves or a flimsy, cheap alternative?
