Re: Playing Card Sleeves

Tom,

I use a sleeve by Ultra Pro (top loader series). it's a 3 x 4 solid plastic sleeve and will accomodate 2 cards only. I also use the Ultra Pro(sleeve series) polypropylene sleeves. They are very flexible and will hold over 6 cards easlly.

I recall hearing some time ago that, aside from religion, more books, periodicals and pamphlets on magic have been published than any other subject. I have not been able to confirm that or even find a reference that could shed any light on it. any thoughts?
