I'm planning on picking up some card sleeves in an order tomorrow and I was wondering what do you think are the best cheap sleeves out there? I've got a bunch of decks to sleeve. I use Dragon Shield for my EDH decks, but they're a bit too expensive for all of my casual decks (especially since I kinda want them in different-looking sleeves.) I've also heard that Ultra Pro break often on the sides. We've used penny sleeves before and I don't like them at all.
What do you suggest?

Been using ultra pro for years. They do what they are supposed to do, protect, not break and not be sticky. Dragonshield are just too expensive for no reason.

The Ultra Pros with graphics are the ones that fall apart on the sides. The regular solid color ones are very well made and hold up really well. I bought two 50 packs of those "neo" sleeves and got about 45 useable sleeves, the manufacturing tolerances were awful. That's probably just the batch i bought from tho, ymmv.

KMC >> Dragon Shield >>>> Ultra Pro for me. I don't know where I would put penny sleeves, but they always seem to do the job just fine. Ultra Pro have been unreliable for me.

Seems I'm getting a lot of differing views on which is the best.

People who don't invest on shields a lot tend to use dragonshields. They are durable and will last long, although personally I hate shuffling tacky sleeves (and all sleeves will become tacky after 2 tournaments)

bloodartist got a good point, I hate shuffling 60 cards decks that feels like an EDH deck because they have big(ger) sleeves.
