How tall is a sleeved deck? - alderdust - 11-21-2012 01:40 PM
So I havent been able to find a formula or anything of the sort I was going to buy sleeves for all of LNoE, Growing Hunger, SoTF, Hero Pack1, and Timber Peak it is 395 cards total. I was wondering how tall would a sleeved deck this size be? I am working on finding some suitable cases. If you have sleeved some cards even say 50 just tell me how tall they are and i can multiply it out. Thanks for your help.

I have all the expansions and promo cards, and I got the bright idea to sleeve all the cards. The decks become absolutely enormous -- I didn't actually measure, but were talking adding inches. The decks also became incredibly slippery. I was very disappointed and unsleeved all the cards.

I have everything (all expansions, web exclusives etc etc) sleeved in ultro-pro deck protectors. Makes shuffling 20 times easier.
For "standard LNoE" (excluding Timber Peak) I have two decks (H & Z) both in utlra-pro 250 card deck boxes. With this, cards are "laid down" in a similar manner you see depicted in casinos in the older movies... rather standing like a stack. I think it's well worth the little time/effort, but yes there is also a cost involved that maybe not everyone can afford.
- I really should take a photo of this, as I've described it a few times on the forums here now - facepalm.
Timber Peak so far are in a pair of 100 card deck boxes, with a view this will develop further when BitF is released, along with any other subsequent material.

If ever you get the chance to take a photo, maybe you can have the deck beside a reference (like one of the Hero sheets set on its edge)?

Boardgamegeek had a thread where someone used blackjack discard trays to prevent topling of the decks ill link the forum conversation. There is a picture of one put in the tray but it doesn't show how many it holds.

I measured 60 cards in 'Ultra Pro' sleeved = 5,3 cm (53 mm).
This makes 34,8 cm for 395 cards.
34,8 cm = 13.7 inches.
Hope this helps.

Dang ok thanks friend

I know it is very high and I agree with 'theconcerned' that it is very slippy.
But in my opinion it is worth it and a not expensive way to protect your cards.
I paid 3€ (4,5$) per 100 card sleeves.
And when you buy them colored (mine are green and black) you don't have to glue
front- and backside of your self-printed cards.
