Economically speaking, are the professor ones worth it? A very quick scan of ebay, and I couldn't find the Giratina sleeves, and the professor ones are at BIN for like 18. 36 ( 2 packs, since its for big events, in case one breaks) isn't bad I guess for high quality, special sleeves, but are the Giratina ones cheaper?
I came into the Pokemon world at Platinum. So the Giratina sleeves were great and so were Rotom. I'm still playing with my Giratina sleeves. I really like the Arceus. I've heard they are hit and miss though. I've seem to have recieved a very nice batch. We have about 3 decks sleeved with Arceus and they are holding up well. My 7 year old can be rough but they haven't failed yet. My Professor sleeve are nice but they are a bit sticky when you shuffle them.
I've seen the Garchomps and both HGSS peel at the prereleases. I haven't played with them yet personnaly but I've seen way to many of these sleeves fall apart to invest even the few minutes to resleeve a deck for these.
How are the new sleeves? I wanted to know before i use them fore any big tournaments.
I'm with you, particularly when trying to figure out what sleeves would be okay to use at "a big tournament." I mean it's fun to complain about the terrible quality of the recent prerelease sleeves and all, but why risk using ANY sleeves known to be of inferior quality for a tournament. The only rational thing to do is to just buy some decent sleeves and use those.Why is there so much interest in ranking bad sleeves? Who cares if they are better than these but worse than those?
Why is there so much interest in ranking bad sleeves? Who cares if they are better than these but worse than those? They're terrible. They peel after a handful of games and are essentially useless for organized play. These sleeves are a continuing embarrassment to POP and I don't know why they don't give the contract to another vendor.
As a fellow Professor, I don't think this is the appropriate venue to air your grievances.
lol
did they contact OP about the issue?a lot of the prof. sleeves have a 'bubble' in the plastic of the sleeve that makes them unplayable and very marked.
this happened to like 3 sets of my friend's prof. sleeves. all useless
