Protection

[Assassin_Thief]

I have a problem. I have noticed that a lot of my reverse foils and foil cards are getting scratched up. For instance, on my reverse foils there seem to be these white scratches all over the card. I have also noticed little indents appearing on my cards too. Now I keep them in a 3 inch 3 ring binders inside Ultra Pro sleeve sheets. I hardly take them out of the binder but when I do I notice these scratches. Can anyone explain to me why this is happening and any ways to resolve this issue? The value of my cards is greatly decreasing and its causing problems for me.

I know what you mean. I was playing a game with some one ( I had no sleeves ) and then my RH Crobat G Was so bent that it could role. It also happened to my Lv.X ( Luckily it was a tin ) and now it's got all these horrid scratches.

Have you considered that there may be some dirt or sand inside your pages?

Well not sure about the foil cards, but I've seen a whole lot of reverses to get scratched up REALLY fast and easily. Have you tried putting your holos in brand new fresh-out-of-the-pack card sleeves? That could help, as I really don't see te common man having a vacuum chamber to put his cards in...

They are put rite into brand new sleeves. I guess some dirt could have slipped in there but way about the indents?

 

[YogiBear]

The indents might have something to do with the cards being pressed between the rings and the front of the binder.
Ar the cards with the indents closest to the inside?

*Checks quickly* Good god yes!! dang it I thought those were supposed to protect my cards! Does anyone have an alternative way to protect my cards?

Consider taking Lysol Wipes to league and wiping the table before you set up (or using sleeves and playmats)

I've had cards yuk'd up playing on random tables at league and tourneys.

Wipe before you play and your cards should be good. Use sleeves.

Well the cards I use in my deck are fine its the ones I leave in my binder that are getting messed up.

I have noticed that only cards in the first column end up with the indents. So, I avoid putting important cards there ^_^

Or use a playmat. As long as the Playmat isn't mint or you don't want to make it dirty you can use it and then wash it.
