Mayday Game Card Sleeves 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" (100 Pack)

I bought 2x 100 sleeves for Pandemic 2nd ed. + Pandemic OTB expansion which I recently purchased.I had to sleeve 147 cards, and every sleeve fit perfectly with minimal gap, and no damage before or after sleeving.They were also easy to sleeve so sleeving didn't take too long.My only criticisms are that the card pile is a bit thicker and wider than the standard pile (obviously) and flow over the top of the manufacturer-provided box. This isn't a problem with either product, but it would have been good if the box had a bit of space to allow for this. The sleeves are slippery so the cards must be stored wrapped in elastic bands to prevent them sliding around in the box (not a problem as I like keeping them sorted and stored this way anyway).The extra width means that the cards for the original+expansion don't fit together in the bays provided in OTB, whereas without the sleeves I think everything could fit in a single box. This is also not a problem for me as I keep the original cards in the original box along with extra packaging material etc where the rest of the components would be kept, and I moved these components into the expansion box.The slipperyness does mean that the cards are difficult to stack without falling over though, which is a problem if you aren't playing on a flat table or if you are a bit careless when placing the deck after shuffling.However shuffling is faster/easier than with plain cards, so that is a plus.In short, the sleeves fit perfectly and provide sufficient protection without being overly cumbersome to use.Does the job and does it well!

These sleeves are a life saver for card games! Definitely worth protecting your favorite games.

Does the job EXACTLY - Very Very Satisfied with this product.I bought these specifically for the cards that come with Galaxy Defenders, and they fit like a charm. There is some slight (say 1mm or so) excess plastic beyond the edge of the cards but otherwise perfect, and I prefer it this way. A pack of 100 will contain enough sleeves for all the cards in the base game plus the Elite Army expansion, with some left over for any new expansions that come out or any other cards you may want to use these with.There is some slickness amongst the cards with them now having the plastic covering them, but that does not bother me.Also, for those wondering the plastic is such a nice fit that cards can be shuffled with the plastic on.Note that plastic is of the softness that one sees with plastic bags for which food is stored, not a hard-laminate kind of plastic. Therefore do not expect that they will prevent cards from being bent or torn in and of themselves - they will guard against wear and tear when care is exercised but not against clumsiness or malicious intent.

Mayday aren't notorious for having the highest quality sleeves, but they are cheap, an amazing fit, readily available around the net and offer a high number of sleeves for a good value (compared to FFG who give you half the cards at the same price) You will likely run into a couple sleeves that aren't cut properly or are slightly longer than others, but it is a small amount. You could fix this yourself, use it for a less important card or just toss it, since you're not wasting a whole lot by doing so. Cards can stick together after the initial slippery stage of first use, but if you have a high number of cards (CCG, LCG) and want them protected or double sleeved, then you might not have a whole lot of other choices. FFG and Dragon Shield may make better sleeves but their prices and fit may not be for everyone.Mayday does make higher quality black-backed sleeves (that come 80-to-a-pack) and other premium selections, but those do cost more and increase the thickness of your stack, which can tip over in high number decks. Overall I think these are an excellent choice for anyone needing a large number of sleeves on the cheap and want their cards to sit snugly in their sleeves.

Well, it works for Battletech Cards. Plus it clear.

Great

These are my personal favorite. They fit more snug when compared to other penny sleeves on the market. These sleeves protect daily use and play of your cards. I use them to sleeve the majority of my card games ie MTG, Ascension, Splendor & etc. Quality protection for approximately 2/3 less in price when compared to the thicker luxury competitors. The best part is when they get worn or ruined from a saving throw ie fingery food grease, light beverage splashes, or become torn — are easy to swap out without shedding a teardrop or consulting your wallet for a expensive replacement purchase. From my experience, these sleeves last just as long as more luxury brands.

I wanted to have a different option to Fantasy Flight card sleeves that I normally buy, mainly because sometimes it's out of stock and their prices go up. When I saw this option with relatively good reviews and the amazing price I went all-in to try it.I'm not buying these sleeves again.The sleeves do the general work of protecting the cards. However, when it comes to handling or shuffling the cards, it's when the quality of the sleeve cracks.The sleeve is not snug enough so the card can easily be removed from the sleeve. I'm not sure what happens with this plastic, but they are so sticky! The cards get stuck on each other and the simple action of shuffling becomes challenging.Overall, if you're looking for the cheapest option, this sleeve DOES protect the card. But if you play any card game often, you want to stay away from this brand because it just becomes too annoying manipulating/handling the sleeved cards. I'm back to the Fantasy Flight Sleeves...
