For those of you who keep up with the going-ons here at POG HQ, would have noticed a pattern emerge in the recent months - we have been constantly blogging about our different sleeve offerings. The reason being that this is still one of the most widely misunderstood and confusing areas for beginners. And as someone who is largely responsible with helping the people that message us with their queries, questions regarding our sleeve range are extraordinarily common.
So that’s where this blog post comes into action; a one-stop master post for the entire Palms Off Gaming Sleeve range. In this post you’ll get a brief explanation of each sleeve and examples of how it can be used, who may wish to use it, and how they can be used with other POG products.
Soft Card Sleeve - Standard:
Palms Off Gaming Standard Soft Card Sleeves are a staple for many collectors and stalwarts in LGS’s across Australia and New Zealand. They are made of high quality soft, acid free, archival safe, plastic.
A common misunderstanding we see from people who are new to collecting Pokemon, is they do not realise Japanese Pokemon cards will also fit perfectly into these sleeves. Remember folks, the language of the card doesn’t change its physical dimensions.
How to use them: Apply the sleeve over the top of the card
Who are they for: Collectors of standard sized TCG cards (e.g. Pokemon (all languages), Magic: The Gathering, Flesh and Blood, Lorcana, etc)
What products can they best be used with: Top Loaders, Collector’s Series Binders, Stealth Series Binders
MintFit Inner Sleeve - Standard:
Palms Off Gaming Inner Sleeves are perfect for those who intend on playing the game the cards were designed for. Just like our Soft Card Sleeves, our Inner Sleeves feature high quality soft, acid free, archival safe, plastic.
How to use them: Apply them over the top of the card before then adding a deck sleeve over the top of both.
Who are they for: Players of Trading Card Games that use standard sized cards (e.g. Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Flesh and Blood, Locana, etc)
What products can they best be used with: Blackout Deck Sleeves
Palms Off Gaming Japanese Soft Card Sleeves are designed to fit Japanese sized, sometimes called mini sized, cards. Far fewer games use this size. Just like the standard sized Soft Card Sleeves, they are made of high quality soft, acid free, archival safe, plastic.
How to use them: Apply the sleeve over the top of the card
Who are they for: Collectors of Yu-Gi-Oh!
What products can they best be used with: Top Loaders, Collector’s Series Binders, Stealth Series Binders
MintFit Inner Sleeves - Japanese:
Palms Off Gaming Japanese Soft Card Sleeves are designed around play and using the cards as the designers originally intended. They also feature the same acid-free, archival safe material found in the rest of our sleeve lineup.
