Place I order from (Potomac Distributors) just got some in-stock, so I've got mine on the way now.  You have to order by the box, but it is BY FAR cheaper than ordering from Amazon with the scam artists charging $6+ per pack.

I imagine FFG's store should be getting them in-stock again as well pretty soon.

They show up under the "Upcoming" section as being "Shipping to Stores" now, with a date of "May 16th" listed.  So hopefully we'll be able to get our hands on some soon!  I've got two boxes of 500 reserved online.  

Kewl!  I was just about to spend $6.95/ea at Amazon.  Thanx for the tip!

I also found these listed from someone trying to sell them at Sears's website for $15/pack!

Nice, thanks!  It looks like there are some "on the boat" according to the FFG Upcoming section.  I've heard from my supplier that FFG has said "Early May, but they are sometimes late with shipping".  So I'm hoping in the next couple of weeks or so.

Hey, dudes. Found the Fantasy Flight clear CCG sleeves in stock here if any of you are still looking for them. Picked myself up a big pile. :3 Happy hunting to you all.

I used UP sleeves since back in the Star Wars CCG days. I recently switched to FFG because I have not experienced sizing issues with their sleevs like I have with UP and Mayday sleeves.

I have been buying hundreds of the Silver Sleeves lately to re-sleeve my Thunderstone/Nightfall/Star Trek DBGs/FFG LCGs/ and a few other Deck-building games. The FFG sleeves seem to hold up better to repeated shuffling. I am currently getting enough sleeves to re-sleeve my Dominion game and expansions because the MayDay sleeves have worn out to fast.

Thanks for the update. I just invested in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and have mountains of cards to sleeve. I was surprised to see such a common item unavailable.

Yeah, thanks for that update. I was beginning to think it was card sleeve mating season and no-one can get them! I'm also after the Standard sleeves for Netrunner.

I play the anima beyound fantasy game, and others.  I wonder why the company puts out material that is out of order with the rest of the books.  The books of Arcanum, and Promethium exxet both use rules that are covered in the core exxet rule book, not only have you not released that book but it appears that you have no intention of releasing it.  Then there is the amount of time that you take to release the materials as well as lack of support.  I'm sorry, but you have an established world with a set storyline and yet not moduals to work with.  I'm sorry, but I've been playing RPGs for over 30 years, and I really do enjoy this one, but the method of distribution seems to be lackong as well as what appears to be a short fall of logistics on your part.  Please people think of the people think of purchase the material, the ones who have waite the years on years for you to get the stuff to us.

Sorry and thank you for your time

Cool, thank you for the insight. Will have to pick up FFG sleeves at some point, then.

In my experience with the FFG clear sleeves (I don't have any experience with UP sleeves, though) they are very consistent in sizing.  I haven't noticed any out of the 10 packs I've bought that have been significantly different in any dimension.  Very uniform.  Only thing is they seem a bit longer than they need to be, but it doesn't affect usage (shuffling, etc.)

Related question, but how would you guys compare the sizing inconsistency of UP vs. FFG? I bought a few packs of UP sleeves for Netrunner, and my issue with them is the length is very often inconsistent between packs. This inconsistency would be the primary reason I would want to be switching from one to the other, so I ask if the FFG sleeves have the same problem.

Thanks for any insight anyone is able to provide.

I was interested, and thanks for the information.

Just as an update for anyone interested:

I contacted FFG and they believe they will have the grey-series clear sleeves available again within a month or two.

Same issue yet again...can't find these in a decent quantity ANYWHERE.  Any idea when they might be restocked?  Seems like FFG has a hard time keeping popular items stocked.

I used to use only Ultra pro - now I only use FFG sleeves.

I have only ever used the clear sleeves for both, nothing with coloured backs.

I prefer the extra length that the FFG sleeves give for protecting the top of the card (particularly when looking through cards that are boxed) and the thickness feels better to me. Also that ultra pro dot really began to annoy me, particularly as they have moved the position of it over the years and they do come off over time. Had very few splits from either company. 

In the 1990s ultra pro were easily the best choice, now there are several good sleeves and to some extent it's a personal choice what you prefer.

I've also used Mayday which are fine, although there can be differences in size sometimes even within the same pack. 

Any news as to when these packs will be available again?  I am needing about 100+ of the silver packs and 20-30 of the yellow.

I have used dragon shield sleeves twice.  I got both sets on the same day.   One set of the sleeves fell apart to quickly.  I think I had one split open during my first tournement of use.  Lucky for me I had extra or that would have been a total bummer.  I tought it was just bad luck, but shortly after they kept splitting from the sides.  That was one pack.  I have another set and have had not issues with them.  I was using them for CCGs.  I was constantly shuffling and modifying the decks.      

Are there any card sleeves which fit Warhammer Battle Magic Cards?

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440006a&prodId=prod800014a

The size is 3" x 4,5".

I am hoping beyond hope that there might be a way to obtain some boxes of the old small silver line size (Red Gnovember 1st ed., etc.).  I have gotten some games that just come in boxes that are a bit too small, and don't allow for sleeves.

The title say almost everthing but if you want to know something else se what happened to me here in Brazil

I buyed a package of arkham horror art sleeve from Art Sleeves Wave 2 that i really liked the art.

Only one cause need to test how well this fit in the arkham horror cards (since they are smaller than the sleeve)

It was perfect, the art sleeve is bigger than the card but its no problem at all, the quality is so big that even without cards you can shuffle it.

I buyed the same month another 5 packages of sleeves, so i wait (this was in march 2012)

This exact package is the only one until today in my life that  never has been delivered, its long simply lost in the way.

After 6 months the online store refunded me but surprise! no more of arkham horror art sleve in stock

And no art arkham horror sleeve in nowhere that ship it internationaly , so i just sad.

FFG you are simply my only hope help me and everyone else that want these art sleeves.

I'd love to know too.

they say that tokens are too big for plastification so any idea to protect them? thanks

HI,

I will soon have some internal storage inserts for a variety of card games for sale, at the moment I am accepting reservations / pre-orders (no money involved yet.) As these cases are designed to fit into existing cardboard boxes they are ideal for large collections of cards.

I will be posting the exact specifications this weekend, however some of the types of games which this may be suitable for are as follows (IT WILL BE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CONFIRM IT CAN FIT WITHIN YOUR GAME BOX ND ACCOMIDATE THE CARDS / SLEEVES YOU HAVE USED ONCE THE FINAL SPECIFICATRIONS IS MADE AVAIILABLE>)

Lord of the Rings: LCC
Android: Netrunner
Warhammer Invasions
Star Wars: LCG
Call of Cthulu: LCG
Game of Thrones: LCG
 

Pre-orders and reservations can be made here - http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/152772/uk-based-card-storage-game-components

It looks like there are art sleeves available for all of the LCG games except for Android: Netrunner. Does anyone think Fantasy Flight will release Android-themed card sleeves?

I too have been a magic player for many years and I aggresively riffle shuffle my cards.  I need a sleeve that stands up to such punishment. 

I use Dragon Shield sleeves for my magic cards and have tried using Ultra Pro a few times and always feel like they fall apart too easily.  Since then I have avoided the UP sleeves like the plague.  

I have all of my FFG games sleeved in FFG sleeves and am very happy about it.  I can count on their durability.  

Note: I do not riffle shuffle the small "yellow" sleeves.  haha.

I was anti-playmat for the longest time until my brother picked one up for me.

We've been playing competitive magic for a while, and I have to admit: I don't know how I got along without it.

Playmats are a must for competitive gaming. If you're at home playing in the basement though, a $20 card table from Wal-Mart (or whatever) will suffice.

I actually have both now...

I've played competitive Magic so I've had my hands on more sleeves than I care to count.

Ultra Pro's are perfect for Magic because they're consistently sized (usually! I have had issues with this before) more importantly they're tough and durable.

Actually, my favorite sleeves for Magic are Dragon Shields because their durability surpasses Ultra Pro by far.

But this is a question about FFG sleeves.

From the sleeves I've seen so far (I just bought Return of the Jedi movie poster art for the purposes of sleeving my X-Wing minis cards, and I've seen the cool lightsaber art sleeves) my initial reaction was "Wow are these things thin and light."

I don't think they're very durable, so in an 8 round Magic tournament that involves any amount of tutoring or fetching, I think you may start to see problems really quick.

But, I also bought the small clear sleeves (the yellow one, I forget the size name) again for the purposes of sleeving my X-Wing minis, and those are some nice sleeves!

Anyway, there's my $0.02

I've been putting the Ultra-Pro on the other way around for Netrunner - hologram on the back. It may look funky, and I can only use that brand then, but they're so sturdy and rigid. I've got a mix of those (hologram on the inside where possible) and general coloured sleeves for other LCGs. Where there are special cards (house, heroes etc.) which don't go into the decks I use plain colours, and fancy picture sleeves for the actively used decks. They're pricey, though, so mostly I stick to UP if I like the art on the back.
