Sleeve or no sleeve?
Does anyone print proxies with the intent on not sleeving them and just riffle shuffling like a normal desk of cards?
I was able to get good results with double sided printing so the card backs being misaligned isn’t a worry. I currently am using koala double sided glossy 160gsm and laminating with 3mil glossy laminate. Cards look fantastic and have a decent feel/snap but I had a thought, I could use thicker photo paper like Koalas 250gsm double sided glossy, still laminate with 3mil and then just not sleeve them.
Goal is to have the cards be more sturdy and snappy outside of sleeves. Obviously the 250gsm with 3mil laminate would be thicker than normal cards so if I sleeve them, the stack would be too big. But if I don’t sleeve them, the thickness shouldn’t matter much.
