Which batch of cards are these? The flimsy ones where the lamination separates or the good sturdy ones?

Oh, no! They outlast your finger oils. We've bought several decks already, but not because they were cheap or worn out. It's because we played so much and so often that we couldn't stand our own finger oils anymore. It's so much fun.

We have worn out two sets of Five Crowns, but not from separation. It has been because we love the game and it gets used so much - they finally go the way of all well worn cards. Each set has lasted for about two years - maybe more - I really haven't kept track but we have been playing this game for about four or five years.

We have only had ours since Christmas, and they haven't been used that often, but so far they don't seem flimsy and are not separating.

Any "hot" laminating sheets are supposed to work. I use the "Universal" brand ones that I bought from Amazon and they work great. There are several sizes. The one I use most often is model 84642 which are business card size.

These are very lightweight. According to my scale, they weigh .18 oz. The same size in paper weighs .32 oz. They are somewhat flimsy, but have self-adhesive flap. So if you place the flap so the card inside can't slide around I think you'll be in good shape.

My 8yo uses them and he can get about 7-10 cards in there. But, I had to completely disassemble mine and reglue all the foam and then glue the sides back together to make them useable. One of the four was completely missing a side of foam.

I suggest using a decent quality card stock (available at walmart, kmart, craft stores in both stationery and craft sections) and laminating it - that would be a much better way to make stiff cards - this will disappoint you for that purpose.

It's clear and they each come individually wrapped in a bubble wrap little bag with card board dividers between each one. Also it sealed so you can't add paper inserts unless you want to break it apart yourself.

They appear to be some sort of soft plastic. I've never tried cleaning a deck of cards so I'm not sure what to suggest. One thing, though, the new cards were so stiff that I couldn't shuffle the entire deck at one time. They are slowly breaking in now - it's been a couple of months.

The kit I bought had single sided cards. I had to buy the double side cards separately. They are not terribly expensive. I use the single sided cards as test dummies as I try to size different card layouts, so they don't go to waste.

Yes! The cards are very nicely sorted out, with very lovely dividers. The quality is honestly much better than I expected. The inside is a lovely surprise.

the cards are about the same weight as index cards, and are slightly textured, but doesn't interfere with writing on it...the envelopes are just regular weight envelopes...hope that helps...

I'd need to see the details about each card. Can you post links to the specific ones you are looking at?

I would go with Kodak, Kodak 70554 Paper Sleeves - 500 Pack by Kodak.I have bought the cheaper ones but they are flimsy and the tab does not hold the flap down. These are pre folded and are sturdy.

The pages are not as heavy as card stock....but are not real paper thin like parchment...sort of an in between , if that makes sense to you.

The quality is better. How do you value your collection? What is the value of the card? I use a soft sleeve inside my hard sleeve. Some cards are over a 100 yrs. old.

Yes they are. To me they are standard cards printed on both sides of average weight of card.

they come with cards that can be used as cut cards. same weight as the cards

They are heavier than card stock but not as heavy as cardboard. They are the thick paper type coasters you would get in a bar or eatery. It is compressed paper. I hope this is making some sense to you, it's hard to describe. lol
