The only concern I have with this -- now that there are official Pathfinder sleeves, I now feel the compulsive need to buy enough to sleeve my whole Rise of the Runelords set, and always get more to sleeve each new piece of S&S. I'm sorry wallet... I promise this will hurt me more than it hurts you.

Keep in mind that you'll want to use *clear* sleeves for anything double-sided: characters, roles, tokens, and story cards.
If the ultrapro\cardsleeves\PACG section of the store had appropriately sized clear sleeves listed besides these it would be helpful for the lazy, paranoid and technically challenged purchasers amongst us..

You want this 50-pack or this 100-pack.
Thanks, Vic.
I don't want to push my luck or anything, but any chance it would be easy to provide a "bundle" of sleeve sets (both clear and PACG) with enough for a base set and all expansions? Obviously I can compile that myself, but it'd it were easy to provide a one-click option, that'd be great. :)

I'm not sure how many people would actually do that.... but I can tell you that the complete set of RotR cards, including the 8 promos, is 1163 cards, of which 130 are double-sided and 1033 are single-sided. So a full sleeve kit would be:
1 Clear 100-pack
1 Clear 50-pack
21 PACG 50-packs (on this page)
Note that PACG subscribers get 20% off the PACG-branded packs, while the clear packs are our usual 10% off MSRP for subscribers and nonsubscribers alike.

Your math confuses me good sir lol. Is it suppose to be 130 double-sided and 1033 single-sided, in which case only 21 packs PACG art packs would be needed? Thanks.

I think that is what Vic meant. He gave a broken down card count here. It indicates 1033 single-sided, 130 double sides, 1163 total.

Ack! Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a mathematician!*
You are correct, and I edited my post above to suit.

Thank goodness for these sleeves, I'm really interested in getting these especially after buying adventure decks online and getting some U.S. prints and some China prints =/ which has definitely affected my decision making during games since I can tell the cards apart =(. I seriously hope Skull and Shackles doesn't have this problem.
But ultra pro is also working on an adventure case to hold a complete sleeved adventure path.
Looking forward to the adventure case too. I was only able to find one third party case that would probably be able to accommodate all the RotR cards sleeved.

I would definitely be interested in this too! =D

I've sleeved RotR with Ultra Pro Standard Size Deck Protectors (which I'm guessing these are essentially the same product line). I used black for boons and banes and clear for the story cards.
That lead me to make this. But then I ended up buying this instead.
But I'm excited for the Ultra Pro Adventure Case. I'd much prefer to leave the original box in its original condition as much as possible, which the Adventure Case will allow me to do.
If you are going to end up sleeving RotR, you might want to check out this as well.

S&S will be printed entirely in the US.

I want to sleeve.
Protecting the cards is an excuse: I want to sleeve because I want your corrected cards. This is incredible (and thank you for sharing)!

Just out of curiosity, but the pricing on these seems rather high. $5.50 for 50 sleeves? I'm used to buying Mayday Sleeves at $2.25 for 100, or even their premium ones at $2.25 for 50, why do these seem to be around 2-4 times as much?
I have to say, I love Paizo, and I love the PACG, but when you're buying enough sleeves to cover the 1100+ cards (and then some), that kind of an increase is pretty steep.

You may find this comparison informative.

I do actually, thank you Vic. Though that comparison still highlights my curiosity:
- Ultra Pro is $5.90 for 100
- Mayday is $2.95 for 100
- Mayday Premiums are $7.90 for 100
- Fantasy Flight is $7.90 for 100
For Paizo's, that'd be $11 for 100. It still seems rather high to me (especially when I've only ever tried Mayday Premium). Can you elaborate on why the Paizo sleeves are higher than the other three? I don't sleeve a whole lot of games, so my knowledge in this realm is rather limited. It doesn't seem like a huge difference, but when I'm buying 1100 cards for the whole game (or more), then it's a difference of $86 for Mayday Premiums vs. $121 for Paizo.
(Additionally, the premium ones Mayday recommends for the PACG are only $4.50 for 100, making their cost for 1100 a whopping $49.50.)
Edit: Is it the "color-tint" or whatever on these sleeves that makes them more costly? I've only ever had clear plastic ones before, I didn't even know color ones were a thing.
Vic Wertz Chief Technical Officer |
Art sleeves (that is, sleeves with printed images) are generally a bit more than double the cost of clear sleeves (or sleeves with a solid-colored back). For example, Fantasy Flight's art sleeves are usually $4.99/50. (I don't think Mayday does any art sleeves.)
If you want UltraPro's clear sleeves, MSRP is $6.20/100 (we sell them for $5.58) or $3.20/50 (we sell them for $2.88). (Make sure you do *not* get the ones labeled "Pro-Fit"—they're slightly too small for our cards.)

I noticed that my order for sleeves were not charged with my S&S's order. Does that mean that they won't ship this month?
I recommend posting in the customer service forum. They had issues with the class decks not making it into orders. The same might be true with the sleeves.

Got my shipment of these packs in last night and they are pretty sweet (from a different site). I have the second printing of the game, and even still there were color differences between packs like the base set and the character add-on pack, so having these to give a nice consistent look is pretty nice. The image on the back looks pretty nice with the gang of four, although it would have been nice to include Seoni. The back also has a little grip to it so it isn't as slippery to handle such as with the UP Clear Sleeves. Spent a couple of hours desleeving my single sided cards and resleeving with these...
