I am using the 0.2lt boxes for tokens and the 0.3lt boxes for cards.

Good prices (even in USD conversion) and good assortment!  But so sad... ...no delivery to the USA (even for a painful S&H). But it gives me something by which to search elsewhere.

If anyone spots any manufacturer codes, patent numbers, etc. on the boxes themselves, please post!  That might help the rest of us try to search them out elsewhere.

Quitter (as in, me)!

Well, looks like I've hit my hand size limit with the addition of Frostmarch. Will have to shuffle the Adventure deck in two halves now, 288 cards sleeved won't fit into one hand anymore.

Also had to finally flip the Dungeon insert, but everything is still stored in just the Dungeon box.

I recently bought the sleeves from Arcane Tinmen. They make the card decks pretty fluffy, I wonder how fluffy they would be with the FFG ones.

Fluffy? Extra height you mean? For kicks, I measured my Adventure deck (288 cards) during the first game after adding Frostmarch, it stands at an impressive 16cm (6.3 or inches) .

16 cm high?

i can't so that with the ffg sleeves...

The whole deck will collapse...

I must make 5 a 6 stacks if i have the frostmarch expansion i think..

Microns listed on the previous page are thickness I think and FFG sleeves are thicker (not by much) than the Arcane Tinmen sleeves. Don't know, maybe they push down more after a while. I keep the Adventure deck in 1 stack, it stands proud and tall, no collapsing has happened, nor do I expect any either. Kicking the board might do it, but it rests against the bookshelf and we play on the floor, so not that likely to happen.

Yeah, the FFG sleeves are indeed ticker than the tinmen(from jon's post)

But the sleeves quality from FFG is better.

Wich sleeves do you have Dam?
 

I've tried a couple different types of sleeves, one ordered from Mayday and one pack found at place up in Portland, OR, north of me. I think two factors can affect fluffiness.  One would be how tight a fit the sleeve is, the other maybe the sleeve's thickness in microns. My biggest hassle with them is they slide.  Thank goodness for a box usable for storage and play.  Without such, half an hour into one game rolling dice across the board... and I guess the vibrations weakened the Adventure stack on the Crown.  It did a landslide straight through the Elf's playing piece and took out half the tokens for the Prophetess' character card.

I found thickness didn't affect the fluffy factor quite as much as tightness. The gold Mayday sleeves are a very tight fit compared to others, but they let in less air that way.... maybe?

According to people on BGG the slippery factor will decrease over time with plays...

Ah, then I just have to play more... it's a worthy solution.

I have Arcane Tinmen.

How do you differentiate quality with sleeves?

Dam said:

Some sleeves are very weak...

The Sleeves from FFG are strong, but only the thickness is the problem.

i believe that the quality is a little better than the Tinmen sleeves, but the Tinmen sleeves are less thicker.

So people must choose..

Haven't done any comparison, but small sleeves seem to be fairly similar (on the surface), sturdy stuff. I've noticed more differences in large sleeves.

Agreed.  The Mayday ones are 40microns.  The others I tried were around 60-80.  Though there was difference in stacking, I've notice no difference in durability. So for stacking and space, thinner is better for me.  And they are cheap, so replacing them (not yet) isn't a serious consideration... unless one is concerned about collecting and protection, and even then, replacing a split sleeve is pennies at the worst.
