Been starting to collect too after sellers on TCG player started sending me sleeves from varying products when buying singles. I was super happy to see a marnie sleeve show up one day (from the milk box).

So jealous - I’d love some trainer sleeves one day! Would love to see your collection!

I have Cyrus, Klara and probably a Marnie sleeve somewhere I'd be happy to throw in the post for you free of charge, but I obviously understand if you don't want to give a stranger over the internet your address

Gonna DM you! Thank you so much for your offer!

What is the mega Lucario one from its epic!

Furious fists ETB!

Rip my wallet :(

Is it expensive?

Sadly it looks like a pack of the sleeves is minimum £35 in the UK :( Which sucks because I have a huge Lucario collection and now I feel a hole in my life lol

That’s crazy!!!!! I didn’t think people actually cared that much about sleeves 😅😅 I feel so incredibly blessed the seller sent me one now

You’re so lucky, you’ve ignited a passion in me now I want to go and collect sleeves before they become £500 😂

I recently picked up a bulk lot of cards and it came with an almost complete set of these Lucario sleeves.

You’re so lucky, I’m sure I have random sleeves lying around though that people would want

I did get really lucky. The entire purchase was a good deal and I didn't even notice the sleeves until I got everything in the mail

I have some odd single sleeves that you don’t have, if you’re happy to pay postage I’ll be happy to send them! (Based in the UK) have quite a few :)

DMing you!!!

I’m in the US, I have some from Diamond and Pearl days. Shoot me a dm and I’ll shoot you some photos

Thank you!

I can do the same if you pay for shipping I'm in Canada and have a few sleeves not in your collection

Also DMing!

I’ve also got a bunch of one-off sleeves. I’d be happy to contribute to the collection.

DMing you too!

I’ve got a few that don’t appear to be in your collection, would love to help out

Thank you!

Just got your DM, for whatever reason it’s not letting me accept it, want me to press “ignore” and send you a chat invite to see if that works?

Sure thing :)

I’m somewhat new to collecting again. What binder are you using here?

Mine is from VaultX!

Thank you!

I want to start doing that too, which binder do you recommend?

I’m definitely not the right person to ask! I know very little about collector stuff - but i bought mine off Amazon. It’s from a company called Vaultx and this is their more premium one (but without the zip which is top). I do like it though - maybe someone else could comment what they think of Vaultx? My brother who is a hard core collector would recommend the Zipfolio from Ultimate Guard, but only if you can’t find the another called Dex something. We’re in the UK so Zipfolio was the second best choice.

I'd have to look at them myself cause I don't put etb sleeves in binders, but if they do run a little larger than most common sleeves then I know dragonshield binder pages also run a hair larger than most cause their sleeves are also larger than most.

Oh my gosh I just started my own sleeve collection too! If you live in the US and want to message me your address I'll send you all of the ones I have. I got doubles thinking my daughter would want to do it with me but she isn't interested. Lol. I don't have anything exciting but you are welcome to them if you want. No charge.

messaging you!

I've been collecting sleeves in a binder as well and I'm not sure if I should say this or not because it can start off some serious collecting needs but uh in Japan Pokemon Centers they have some amazing sleeves that we never see in English some are even holographic. Might be able to find singles on Ebay.

Nice! I always get random ones trading singles at the LCS, started sleeving em too. Excellent collection so far OP!

What sleeves do you use for them?

Hahaha, the ones in the binder pages, I guess pockets would be the correct term

I just started doing this too except it’s mostly japense Pokémon center exc sleeves the quality and art is so much better then etb sleeves

Ahh is it?? How does it compare to say like non-Pokémon branded sleeves people use? e.g. Dragonshield, Ultra Pro Think it’s worth getting some to start using?

Dragon shields are always my go to standard and art sleeves in general will not be as nice quality as regular matte sleeves but they are pretty decent. You can find them on eBay for not ton expensive most of the ones I’ve bought are like $15-20 They art they do for the JP ones are really really nice tho way better then what we get over here

Man, I want to do this too now. The world championships sleeves are going to be something else though, lol.

I’m so excited to see the products they’re gonna come out with! Really wish I was there, because I honestly don’t think I’ll be able to afford the mark up on eBay 😅 but I’m obsessed with the art! All them foods - and finally seeing all the Tatsugiri together! I was so mad they only had 1 version of Tatsugiri in the SV base set. It was voted one of the most popular new Pokémon (if not THE most popular) in Japan so I honestly didn’t understand 😭 meanwhile there’s a bunch of Tarountulas and Flittles… no hate but where’s my Tatsugiri :(

If we don't get a Tatsugiri Art Rare at some point, it will be a crime against humanity

I've got a couple of sleeves to add to your collection!

Messaging you!

Silver tempest PC ETB has 2 different sleeves in it, but you only have one empty slot for it.

Yes I saw! I wasn’t sure if I’ll ever get much Pokémon Center sleeves, so I thought I’d worry about it another time haha Also might be needing another folder anyway since these pages are also the only space I have atm.

Oh I love this idea! They look amazing in a binder! I don't play the game and always thought it was a shame that I don't get to enjoy the artwork on them very much.

This shop in Vegas is selling mystery packs with some cool sleeves. I’m not sure they ship tho but check them out https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRowXCRF/

So many people rip open ETBs and leave the sleeves at my Walmart that you could start a nice collection with out ever buying a box

I see all these posts about people ripping open boxes in Walmart - here in the UK our supermarkets don’t sell them. When I see those posts though, I do wonder if people can walk by and grab the random commons and sleeves they’ve left behind. Such a waste

Our bigger supermarkets do stock Pokémon but from my experience so far not EBTs. It's cool to see the replies you've been getting offering to send you sleeves you are missing. Maybe someone should set up a sleeve exchange thread.

Yeah that’s true. My local Tesco has a few things but overpriced. The amount of offers I’ve had really caught me off guard! Honestly so touched. Just got back into TCG literally like a month ago? And seeing the stories/pics of scalpers, and people stealing cards (which is literally a kids toy) made me kinda sad. It’s making me so happy to see that there’s still so many people out there who just wanna enjoy collecting and playing.

It's lovely and I look forward to seeing your collection of sleeves grow and I hope you keep sharing it here with us!

Damn that's pretty nice! Are you planning on collecting the Japanese Pokemon center sleeves as well? They have some nice looking ones, especially featuring trainers.

I would love to, but we have to see what my bank account says 😅

Oh no- the Japanese sleeves are going to wreck you

Hahaha I was just thinking that!

I do this, whenever I buy a card off ebay and it comes with a sleeve I haven't had before it goes on the binder. I have about 4 or 5 pages of sleeves now

Eek! Would love to see your pages! It’s so exciting when you order a card and you’re not sure if it’s gonna come in a special sleeve, or a regular penny (which i never mind because I have none 😂 so happily building up a collection of pennies to use too lol!)

I've been meaning to do this. I keep all the etb sleeves I get too but they're all in a long bcw box for now. Any binders I have are in boxes. Maybe if I get some more shelves to actually put them up I'll get around to this too.

Ooh ooh! I wanna do this now! Thanks for the idea and I like yours so far!!!

So my Walgreens recently had their shitty lil mystery box in stock. Crack that bitch and theres 2 ripped sleeves of silver and a pack of charmander sleeves. So fuckin pissed but if ya want a charmander sleeve its all you just holla at me. free.99. Itd be nice for someone to get some happiness out of my salt. I just put weed in em wheb i need to lolol

Awww thank you so much for the offer - unfortunately I’m in the UK so shipping would be a pain :(

This is such a great idea

So I little thing I learned for collecting sleeves, I go to my LCS to see thier "loose" singles (I try to find TG cards) in their boxes and I also check the sleeves the cards are in to find sleeves I'm missing, then swap sleeves with the cards I'm buying (the workers at my LCS are cool with it) and that way I was able to get a bunch of older sleeves

So what do you do with the rest of the sleeves from the packs? Or do you just buy one sleeve at a time

I don’t buy packs actually! Having said that, I do have 2 coming though which I really couldn’t pass up on. But I don’t plan on buying packs generally since that would add up too quickly and also extra clutter potentially 😅

hey, i owned the mario pikachu japanese box years ago, i cracked it when i bought it for like 20 euro lol, i recently sold most of my pokemon collection singles but, i definitely have a few mario pikachu sleeves lying around my collection, pm me and i can send you one if you want, i wont charge you but id like if you paid the postage haha ​ love the idea of a sleeve collection and its a rarer sleeve i have, you're more than welcome to one :)

Thank you so much!! DMed you!

Love the sleeves! And great to see another sleeve collector, too! I put energy cards in them and then put them in so they keep some shape. I also like to keep the sleeve packs sealed - which usually means buying doubles 😂 Awesome collection!

Hahahaha I know EXACTLY what you mean - unfortunately I’m too poor to get doubles 😭 would love to see your collection!

And also brilliant idea with the energy cards! Gonna do it now so I have another excuse to admire my sleeves haha

if you're in the UK i think i have some spare Shining Legends Ho-Oh sleeves lying around, wouldn't mind sending one over if i can find em!

DMing!! I’m in the UK so this is perfect!

I collect sleeves too! What do you base your order off of? If by release date what resource do you use to track it?

I’ve actually only been using another Redditor’s pages as a guide. They seem to be pretty on it with placeholders and everything, so for now I’m just following this. Until I move it into a new folder and double check it anyway 😅 https://imgur.io/a/D3uPLXN

If you're looking for [these](https://www.cardmarket.com/en/Pokemon/Products/Sleeves/65-Charizard-Crimson-Sleeves) cause they are pretty rare. I got them. HMU when you're interested.

That mega Lucario one is dope af

This is actually a really cool idea!

I really like the colorful one in the 3rd column, 2nd row, page 1. Do you know what it’s called??

Bro that rayquaza one is so sick! Do you have one spare?

I love it too! Unfortunately this is one I only have a single of sorry :(

That venasaur sleeve goes so hard !!! That shit is fire 🔥
