I keep my everdrive in a ESD bag; no such problems yet! ^_^

Shouldn't it be kept in your Turbo?  [-(

I was planning on buying some of SeyMorOnion's replacement sleeves, and I know they were made with care and good intentions for sure.  But I can't help wonder if over time a similar issue might occur.  Did anyone buy some of those?

I've got some of 'em and haven't noticed any gooeyness or sticking problems.

I use UltraPro side loaders as well for misc stuff as well.  They were recommended to me by a friend who runs a Magic shop and they've held up well.

Side loading (instead of top loading) pages especially are nice so that everything doesn't fall out the pages when you move your binder around.

Weird, I only have stuff slide out of side loaders whereas I don't have that issue with top loaders.

Yeah, I use UltraPro as well: http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-9-Pocket-Trading-Pages/dp/B00095M5DQ

I've had mine in them going on 5 years now without issue.

Got 'em too.  No issues here.  I've been using them for a couple years now.

I am going to check on my stuff tonight, I've had a bunch of games in these pages for years...I'm sure it varies by material/age/exposure to light/humidity/etc.

Still, I'm gonna pull 'em out.


I should point out that there were different suppliers/manufacturers for the original HuCARD sleeves (or, alternatively, the manufacturers used different materials at different times)...consequently, some folks here have reported similar problems with SLEEVES adhering/damaging HuCARDS.

To prevent any damage, I now keep all of my HuCARDs in ceramic mugs and lace baggies*.


* baggies are free of polyvinyl and stuff like that....

If that gunkiness spread to the connector pins on the cards just carefully use some soft sandpaper on the pins. That will remove any oxidization.

Hmmm.  I recently started keeping them in a binder from Office Depot with plastic sheets for holding business cards.  Saw a pic of someone who did that and looked like a good idea.  Maybe rethinking that.  Thing is, I keep a few somewhat valuable (to me) ones in there.  Like Soldier Blade, but I am playing that a lot lately and no noticable damage so far.
