Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose one-sided card protector sleeves?
One-sided sleeves are especially helpful in competitive play, especially to shield an observant competitor from discrepancies in a card deck’s back. For example, it is legal to mix English-language and Japanese-language Pokemon cards in tournaments, but the backs are different and give away your hand to the opponent. Don’t blow your cover, get the right card sleeves for your TCG!
Will these card sleeves work on other kinds of cards?
The short answer is yes, and especially because most have some flexibility in terms of exact size and dimension. This means Hobby Base’s cards are also great for baseball cards, superhero cards, and similar collectibles. If your collectible is outside of standard trading card size, check the sizing of a particular card protector sleeve you’re looking at first.
What are additional ways to protect my trading cards’ value?
If you’re looking to keep your trading cards as mint-condition as possible, there are many important considerations. First, keep your trading cards out of any kind of light, and especially UV light, and in as low a humidity setting as possible. Additionally, opt for two trading card sleeves: one a thinner plastic sleeve, and surrounding it, a plastic frame. Another way to preserve your cards is in specific card binders.
What kind of card protector sleeve should I use?
If you’re looking for use in a TCG, opt for card sleeves that are sturdy but not so thick that they’re difficult to shuffle and deal. For collectors, check out our harder cases and particularly those with UV light protection.
