TitanShield (150 Sleeves) Clear Mini American Size Board Game and Matte Card Sleeves

I have tried 4 different brand card sleeves for Talisman 4th edition: (these are how I rank them FYI) 1. These 2. Ryker (just as good, if you don't mind top/bottom gaps and are more expensive.) 3. Arcane Tinmen (good and clear, but HUGE gaps on all size of the cards.) 4. Mayday not premium (will glue you cards together if you actually use your game see my review for more info) These sleeves are just about perfect. The sleeves are uniform in size with very little variation with 900 sleeves purchased. The cards fit perfectly in the sleeves, no gaps in the top, bottom, and sides. They allow you to shuffle the cards easily due to the textured side. The clear side is very clear. The cards are well protected from finger prints and minor mishaps like any good card protector should. Caveats Availability: They are so good they are impossible to get now, which makes me sad. QC: I think because Titanshield is trying to produce these faster, QC is slipping a little. I mean a teeny tiny itty bitty bit. Out of 900 sleeves purchased one pack had a grand total of 3 (found so far) sleeves that split immediately when inserting cards. Thicccness: If you are trying to optimize space for your cards because you have ALL THE expansions. These premium sleeves make the cards thiccc with ALL THE C's. It also hampers the ability for the cars to stack well. I have attempted to mitigate this by pressing the cards with a clamp and card holder contraption and have succeeded a little. That all being said for the price, these are the best card sleeves I have found for Talisman 4th edition hands down... so far.

This sleeves are great for cards that need constant shuffling but can be used any way. They feel really good in your hand you just need to make sure they are the right size to fit your cards as there are lost of different sizes (even from this brand). Last thing to consider is that this are thick sleeves and while that helps with durability two thins can happen if the game box insert was not made with sleeves in mind they might not fit back in the box (more common than one might think) and even if the cards can be put back if the box did not have them some extra room they might overflow the card space inside. If this happens I suggest using a separate deck box o (even better) reusing the 3 plastic bags inside this product.

I bought these specifically for Pandemic Hot Zone: North America because the cards are quite small and it's a travel game for me so I wanted to have some protection. The sleeves are *very* snug but they fit nearly perfectly (less than a mm extra material on all sides). They feel sturdy. I'll report back once we've played a few games with them. Overall they seem like a good value.

They are a bit pricey compared to competitors like sleeve kings but the quality is also higher. A friend of mine uses another brand and they feel more like penny sleeves, these feel similar to dragon shield which are known for quality. If you want to preserve your game cards with a durable sleeve these are great.

Bought 5 packs and they were slightly too small for the cards I wanted to use them for. Caused significant bending. Used for Twilight Imperium cards. Couldn't use any of the packs.

I sleeve almost all my games and these are byfar the best mini american sleeves I have used. Not one out of over 500 were split, bent, or damaged when I received them. They fit the cards like a glove and even when shaking the cards upside down none have fallen out. They have also held up very well to shuffling. I see no damage to the cards after many game nights. And I will definitely buy these again.

I'm slowly sleeving my Mansions of Madness board game collection when I have a few bucks to throw at sleeves here and there, and when I think of sleeves for my board games, I immediately think TitanShield. Their matte sleeves have the best shuffle feel and clarity out there, and the sturdiness of their sleeves is legendary in my mind. These sleeves specifically only took maybe fifteen minutes tops from time of delivery to the completion of sleeving my cards. I was short two sleeves in one of the three included packs of 50, so I had 148 total instead of 150, but these things happen sometimes. This is the only manufacturing issue I've ever experience from TitanShield and will in no way deter me from purchasing their products again in the future. I can't recommend these enough.

I decided to try these since multiple sources said they are high quality sleeves. I won't be buying any more. The Good: nice thickness, good clarity on the glossy side, having a matte side provides a nicer shuffle feel than all glossy. The Bad: the sleeve length is not consistent. Even within the same 3-pack I had sleeves that were 2 mm longer than others. With tiny cards like these, I prefer to do an overhand shuffle. The variation in sleeve length makes this impossible since the longer sleeves prevent you from grabbing the shorter sleeves. Disappointing. I purchased Ultra Pro mini-American sleeves, which are cheaper, and they are much more consistent in length. I recommend those instead of these if shuffling matters to you. Update: Titanshield reached out and asked if they could send me new sleeves since they felt I must have received a bad batch. The new sleeves still had variation in length, but were a little more consistent. My rating stands, but I thought I would acknowledge Titanshield's good customer support.
