Arcane Tinmen Dragon Shield - Classic Gold 100, (ART10006)

As I have preached to friends Dragon Shields are on the higher end of prices for a reason. I have some that I have been using for about 15+ years. They shuffle great and don't slide around on you and are the perfect thickness. They feel great in the hand and are easy to read from across the table.

These Dragon Shield Matte Dual Sleeves are excellent! My son uses them for his cards and he’s really happy with them. They’re smooth, durable, and protect the cards perfectly. The quality is great, and they fit the cards just right. Highly recommend for any TCG player!

Literally the best sleeves for your cards, all came clean and in perfect condition. They work well on thicker cards, but I wouldn't recommend if you don't want a tight fit. Feels perfectly smooth in your hands, and don't stick to one another. Clarity is great and you can even see the cards in bright lighting.

These card sleeves were a great choice for my Pokemon card collection. I spent several hours scouring different brands and types, looking for the best possible option for my expensive cards, and I found my way here. The sleeves themselves are very sturdy yet thin at the same time, and they resist creasing and shifting pretty well. The smooth texture makes them great for slipping into card storage cases and toploaders, as well as prevents texturing the cards with any texture added to the sleeve (which I have unfortunately had happen to me before...). They have a great price for the amount and quality provided, and come in a small, labeled box that can be used to store cards as well. They are a little loose on bare cards that you put in them, but that's to be expected for any sleeves without an inner sleeve. I highly recommend! Inner Sleeves I recommend for these outer sleeves: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RZBBG14/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Toploaders I recommend for cards: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q5ZMM0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (Pictures above show a card with a Dragon Shield outer sleeve and inner sleeve)

best sleeves in the west lol. seriously tho these are great. stiff and works even better with the inner sleeve side loading things

These are my go-to sleeves for protecting Pokemon, MTG and OP cards. They are sturdy, thicker than regular penny sleeves, and ultra transparent on both sides. They fit well inside zippered binders like Top Deck, Ultra Pro, Vault X, etc. I would definitely recommend them for your more expensive cards and/or long-term storage. They also fit well inside regular top-loaders, but not the 35pt platinum ultra pro top-loaders, because those are more rigid than the regular ones, so I would avoid that combination with these sleeves, especially if they are double-sleeved.

When I wanted a premium card sleeve for the board/card game Seasons, I posted a forum question at BoardGameGeek.com asking for recommendations in the standard Magic: The Gathering size of 63 x 88 mm (2 15⁄32 by 3 7⁄16 inches). I typically use KMC Perfect Size sleeves for this card size, but I wanted more rigidity to the sleeves for this game. Dragon Shield sleeves were the consensus suggestion. Produced by Arcane Tinmen of (and in) Denmark, and distributed in the U.S. by Fantasy Flight Games, Dragon Shield sleeves are an archival-quality sleeve. They have considerable heft in the plastic material that makes them about two to three times as thick as what most gamers are used to in premium card sleeves. And Dragon Shield sleeves are most definitely ultra-premium--with an ultra-premium price too. Expect to pay $10+ street for a pack of 100, almost twice the price of other premium sleeves. Packed in a box about an inch thick, the sleeves are more transparent than other premium sleeves I've used and not quite as slick. Dragon Shield sleeves come with colored backs, but I purchased the entirely clear sleeves to preserve access to the card art on the reverse. The sleeves have an obvious, slightly bulky edge where they have been sealed and a faint plastic odor. In sleeving the Seasons cards, I noticed the batch of sleeves felt like it was two runs. Half the cards were packed in the box opening up, the other half down. One half was slightly smaller in width and required more nudging to get a card into the sleeve. So while the uniformity of the sleeves was good, it wasn't perfect. Overall, the fit was snug even though there was about 1 mm or so on either side of the card. KMC Perfect Size sleeves fit more snugly, almost a skin for the cards, but I suspect the bulkier Dragon Shield sleeves required more card overhang due to their much greater mil thickness. The opening of the sleeve was 2-3 mm above the card edge, and was the most rigid of any card sleeve I have used. This sleeve is not going to give and let the tops of cards get damaged. If used for board/card game cards, these sleeves will inflate the depth of the card deck by two to three times. So if your game has an insert with a well for cards, be prepared for serious overflow. Not only that, but in game play a stack of cards sleeved with Dragon Shields will resemble a wobbly Jenga tower missing most of its blocks. A few who suggested buying the Dragon Shields noted a couple extra sleeves came with every box. I was counting on this, so when it appeared that I was one short, I felt that little surge of customer satisfaction angst. Luckily, sleeve number 100 was lurking in its box. Extras? Nope. Given how much these sleeves cost, a couple extra would have been nice, since the prospect of replacing a damaged sleeve is a little daunting when you paid $10 for a pack and the company HQ is in Denmark. In conclusion, if you are somewhat maniacal about card sleeving, I can't think of a sleeve that delivers better protection. That said, Dragon Shield sleeves are more archival than playable. Cards sleeved in Dragon Shields will make the card stack seem like the gaming equivalent of the race for a mile-tall skyscraper. Some have suggested pressing the sleeved cards under a book to force some air out, and that may be something I try. If you need to ensure maximum protection for MtG-sized cards, Dragon Shield sleeves are your best bet. Just be prepared to pay more and to look for ways to keep the height of your card stack manageable.

Great quality sleeves for building a deck. I use these with Pokemon, MTG and YuGiOh cards without issue.

Che dire, dragon shield con la loro robustezza e bellezza rimangono imbattite sul mercato. Consigliatissime per abbellire e proteggere il priorio deck con un colore viola bellissimo ed un interno nero che cambia il modo di vedere le proprie carte.

Can't complain about dragon shield sleeves. Comes with 103 sleeves typically. Couple spares.

Ottime buste, Dragon Shield è ormai una garanzia. L'unico interrogativo che dovete porvi al momento della scelta delle buste e se le preferite classiche (lisce, come le suddette) oppure matte (ruvide). Le prime si sporcheranno più facilmente delle seconde ma saranno anche un po' più comode da mischiare, a parere mio.
