Collecting Yu-Gi-Oh cards isn't just about getting the best cards to play with, it's also about collecting and showing off.
But if you want to keep your cards in good enough condition to be worth showing off, you're going to want to find good pockets to store your cards.
Getting a good sleeve helps protect your cards from nicks, scratches, and all kinds of damage. The damage will only serve to diminish their appearance, but also dramatically decrease their value, if you are looking to sell.
To make sure you choose the best sleeves for your collection, we have the 10 best sleeves to use:
These sleeves aren't the flashiest you can use, but they are one of the most qualitative.
The sleeve is clear, shiny, and stylish, and is thick enough to withstand a lot of possible damage. Their durability is superior to many others you can find and it's a great way to show off your brightest cards.
These sleeves may not be the most durable you can find, but they are one of the cheapest options for you. They are sold by many different companies, so you won't have to worry about getting your hands on them.
So, for someone who's just looking for a clutch that will do the job and doesn't mind the occasional nicks here and there, this is a great option for you.
These card sleeves have been around for a long time and for good reason. These are stretch resistant and very durable, so you can count on them to protect your cards. They are a real pleasure to mix and their transparent layer gives great visibility to your cards.
The matte finish on the back is available in black, red or blue and provides excellent grip. Matte is even brighter than most mattes, so your cards will always have a bit of shine.
These sleeves are made by Konami and are of high quality. Konami's sleeves are always known to provide solid protection, and these come with some stunning artwork based on the Pendulum monsters.
While some may not like the look of these monsters, we find that these sleeves offer both style and substance.
While the quality of these sleeves has declined over the years (after being some of the best), that doesn't mean they're not a great option yet.
They feel durable and mixing them up is a cinch with them, even better than the Dragon Shields. The front of the sleeves is clear but not too slippery. They come in a variety of colors, although none of them are very bright. If you want more vibrant colors, you might want to look elsewhere.
They aren't too expensive either, so you get good quality for a good price.
These sleeves will seriously last a long time. And we don't mean they'll barely be hooked in there in a few years, we mean they may still look like new in a few years.
These sleeves look great and blend incredibly well. The artwork centers around the white dragon with blue eyes, so they may look out of place in a deck that's not based on a dragon, but even then the artwork is cool enough to warrant their use. .
As of 2020, these card sleeves are considered to be some of the best, if not the best completely.
These sleeves are slim and provide a tighter fit of the cards, so it's nice to hold them. There's a slight texture to the back, so grip isn't much of a problem, but they're also not difficult to blend. Their price isn't bad either, which is always a pleasure.
Regardless of what you might think of the latest Yu-Gi_Oh movie, the artwork on these covers is so cool. They are also made by Konami, so you know the quality is there.
We really wish the artwork was just based on Yugi and Kaiba, but even with that, we still love to watch it.
Ok, just look at those sleeves? Aren't they awesome?
If you can get your hands on these sleeves, you will surely be the talking point of your Dueling Circle. They are incredibly rare, sold only in Japan, and that matches their cost. If you have the cash to spend and find a way to hook them up, this is a great option.
These are, with the Ultra Pro handles, the top of the range for the sleeves. It is commonly accepted in the community that these rounds may well be the best.
They are a bit pricey but they just feel like quality. They are durable, stylish and you can tell that the workmanship of these sleeves has been meticulous.
The cards fit perfectly inside without any sagging, the transparent front is one of the sharpest you can get and makes your rare cards stand out even more. They will last forever and will ensure your cards stay in pristine condition.
The only downside is that they are thicker than the other handles which can cause some issues with brewing, but for what they provide, it's worth dealing with.
There are many different options available to meet the needs, style or durability you are looking for. Don't let your cards go bad and really help them show up.
