How do you protect your character cards?

[alderdust]

So i recently invested in sleeves for my decks for LNOE and its expandsions...then I wondered...how do people protect the giant character cards from damage? I thought about laminating them but it seems scary to try....anyone tried anything that seems to work really well?

Some information if you want to know....

LNOE Cards are 64mm x 89mm.

If you own:

Last Night on Earth: 126 cards total.
Growing Hunger: 50
Hero Pack 1: 10
Survival of the Fittest: 76

So a total of 262 card sleeves would be needed...I just purchased penny sleeves to protect the cards from finger oils and the edges...since the cards are pretty hearty and thick anyways i wasnt worrying about them bending.
