My game came with 4 cards creased. If you lined them up next to each other, the defect worked its way from one card straight through the other three. If I had steamed them, the cards would have been misshapenly long. I had three potion of healings that were visibly marked. I sent Paizo a quick email and the next day customer service was in contact with me to fix my problem. Great response time, courteous and helpful. +1 awesome.

The reason the colors vary is because they use two different printers. As for some of them being different sizes, I haven't noticed anything.

I am using Mayday Games card sleeves. Green pack, size 63.5mm x 88mm and the cards all fit in the box in the right place. That's with everything from the core, character add on and burnt offerings.

I suspect there will be a space problem after another pack or two especially in the blessing or monster decks.

I followed this gem and bought some sleeves from Mayday. I can't say I was happy with their shipping prices or their speed of delivery(I was forced to pay 2 day shipping and didn't get my package until 5 days later), but the sleeves fit like a charm. No wasted space and very few were doa.

I have all of the base and character add-on cards sleeved and fitted into their appropriate slots. Some of them are looking a little full but could still stand to have another twenty or more pressed in. The quality is maintained after melding decks thirty or so times but I'm sure after a couple hundred shuffles the corners will bend. If ANY moisture or grime gets on the sleeve they bind like silly putty to newspaper. No worries, you can peel them apart and wipe them off and they work like new. As a cleaner person, I've had very little issue with them sticking together.

I'd say the Mayday green packs are a definite step up from penny sleeves but are not as sturdy as an archival sleeve. For my group of gamers they are sufficient.


I've read through all the posts after recently discovering this thread. To make it easier for those who care, I have a brief set of stats that give an idea of how the forum feels on the topic.

* 90% of posters expressed a desire for replacement cards for errata'd material
* 5:1 ratio, people prefer the entire errata made into a POD, rather than just the essentials.
* 80% of people want a pdf.
* 40% of the people who want a POD mentioned a desire for an exact card size match.

I'm using rounded numbers and interpreting some posts as best as I can.

I want to wait until the next Adventure Path comes out to have corrected cards available. "Let the dust settle". This gives Paizo the option to include essential(game changing) errata in future releases while maintaining the card quality of the base set.

I agree with previous posters that an extra expansion pack should be made to include all errata as well as some interesting bonus cards. I'm sure some clever design work could make the whole "errata" thing the result of a goblin prank. Oh the things gobbies will do for their jollies. What is the best answer? More content. It keeps the pocketbooks full, the suppliers happy, and the consumer ravenous. Wait a sec...

To summarize my thoughts:
Yes, reprinted cards should be made available/sold.
Yes, a pdf would be handy.
No, I don't think a POD is the best answer.
Yes, exploit me.

I've had good experiences with Paizo thus far and look forward to supporting them in the future. I hope this has helped.
