Cards and Plastic Sleeves

Yesterday, the plastic sleeves I ordered finally arrived~

I didn't sleeve every cards that I have, mostly the guys I still use for battles, in training, or the first card of that character I've ever printed (ex: Lv. 1 or Lv. 2 cards)

Even if it's not every cards that I own, it almost took me 2 hours to sleeve everyone Given tho, I kind of get distracted at the middle-

I also want to write out a bit about why I suddenly feel the need to sleeves every cards that I currently and will have for the future

TLDR; Don't use photo album that use PVC for card collecting if you don't have innersleeve for your cards

Around August 2023, I ordered an photocard album that are usually popular among KPOP fans, because the size is perfect for photocard

And well, what do you know? The size is also perfect for Oreca Battle cards-

The inside of the album is very nice! If I wasn't wrong, the sleeves size is around 7 cm x 10 cm, so plenty of room for the cards

And not only that, they are also come with 2 sided sleeves! So I can arrange some of the cards to be placed next to each other, like this arrangement for Powan and Dante~

And furthermore, this album got that big window on its cover, and you can put your fav picture as the cover!

I did use one of my spare Culann card as the cover at first, but overtime, it changes into one of my ridiculous doodles that I printed sometime ago along with my wanderer cards-

Currently, I'm using the one where Culann is chasing Tanta, but that's not what I'm going to ramble about

I'm going to ramble about what happened to my cards after months of being inside this album

As the TLDR at the beginning implied, the sleeves materials are made of PVC plastic (as described by the vendor on the online listing)

And these PVC plastic, yea? They stick to your cards/photos like, dangerously sticking

So it was probably around September, when I was planning on testing wanderer cards on the arcade I was deciding on what kind of team I need to use, so I pull my cards outside of their sleeves

And lo and behold, crime of modern age(?)

At first, I was a bit surprised at how rough the surface of the cards have become, but I thought since none of the ink are sticking to the sleeves, we are still at safe area Oh how wrong I was...

Out of all of the cards that took some damage from this ordeal, the ones that got the most critical hit are Hayate and Bub

The damage is not very noticeable on Hayate, since it's just a small amount on his hair

But Bub on the other hand, got a very big chunk of his ink taken away by the PVC and got a pretty big white blob on the left side of his card Thankfully, Bub's OG background do have some white elements, so you can dismiss the missing ink as part of the BG

But sadly, the fact that most of my cards' surface becoming rough is not something that I can do anything about

That's why I decided to immediately buy some innersleeves to protect my current and future cards from any further damage that the PVC album might do to them

You might wonder, "If this PVC album is so bad, why not buy a new album that's not made from PVC?"

Buddy, this photo album is pretty expensive- Not only that, it's also very pretty- Also, the sleeves that got ink stuck on them cannot be cleaned/removed, so I don't think I can sell it as a second-hand item either

Anyway, that's my journey about PVC plastic and the importance of putting sleeves on your cards Don't forget to protect your cards, buy sleeves /slapped

July 21, 2022.

The biggest music haul ever had been made. So big that I needed two visits to the same store, Jesus, and fucking Mary to pull it off. High Fidelity’s stock has gotten so stuffed that there were piles and piles of disorganized vinyl records, discs, and cassettes all over the place. Under the bins, on top of the bins, on the floor, up high on the wall that you can’t reach. Mark the owner was so bad with overstock that he moved two blocks down to a bigger space and that wasn’t enough. His downstairs stock room he once boasted was off-limits and even a stack of vinyl records almost fell on me from above. It was a literal death hazard - but I survived. You’d think that two round-trips and $893.00 spent would be the penultimate event to cap off another intensive record-store victory tour. No.

There were two other stores I’d yet to visit. Plainview’s Vinyl Bay 777 and Amangansett’s Innersleeve Records. The one time I went to Vinyl Bay- was when I walked out empty-handed because they marked all of their stock three to four times more what other stores sold. There was no reason for me to pay more than I should for a vinyl record I could find elsewhere for a third or fourth of the price. Vinyl Bay was disqualified. That left Innersleeve Records a place of interest. I didn’t go in the previous round and had considered making the ninety-minute trip out to the East End to check it out - until I saw their latest social media post. Ouch! Their prices were even higher than that of Vinyl Bay’s and on new pressings. Vinyl-price cockfighting at its finest. I wanted no part of it. That moment I declared my island run of stores done. Nope. That’s it. I don’t want to hear it any more. La la la la la la fuck you.

Though, there was one store in New York City I was meaning to visit. That was Greenpoint’s Captured Tracks. My show Omega WUSB had just done a three-hour label tribute about the feel-good label and we always played their artists when we found them. They were around for years with no sign of stopping, so why not come take a ride and check it out? Let’s have another bonus round with another city jaunt, shall we?

Late July’s weather isn’t the most colorful but it’s certainly the brightest when it has cloud cover. I stood at the Central Islip platform and look up to see the lit white skies in 80*F weather. I board the train westward to Penn Station and…what a surprise? It’s thunder-storming and raining mercilessly. I didn’t see this coming, so I have no choice but to deal with it.

Deal with it I did. God didn’t give me lemons but instead gave me a 9/2 offsuit. I arrived at Penn Station and transferred to catch the ‘E’ line. It was insufferable. This was a sneak preview of the 7th Circle Of Hell. Everyone dealt with post-rain humidity in a limited underground space and were dying like dogs. I was drenched in sweat and felt like my clothes were falling off. The ‘E’ arrived and what a saving grace. I felt the cold chill of the air conditioner settling on me, erasing the half-an-hour of disgusting unease. The ‘E’ ended its travel and I transfer to the ‘G’ line to Greenpoint. In five minutes it was all over.

I walk up the stairs to Manhattan Ave. and I see nothing but hazy blue skies and sharp sunshine beaming on me, as if the rainstorm never even happened. I’m back at my element. I walk south on Manhattan Ave. to observe and breathe in what was Brooklyn to me. Two blonde women in Polish tongues walk past me as I process the storefronts, the graffiti, sticker vandalism, and cramped crooked sidewalks. I approach and turn the corner on Calyer Street only to learn that I walked past Captured Tracks?! I turn around and I finally found it. The way to The House of Mike Sniper was downstairs. It was a dream, was it? I never had to take a downwards path to any establishment. I hobbled below and here we are: a dense but neatly-packed music store with plenty of boxes of 45”, pricey first- and rare pressings, bins to fumble through, and several lower shelves of records not for sale designated for their Discogs store. It was going to be another intense day digging in the bins.

Three hours and $117.00 later, I finally declared my record-store victory tour of ‘22 finished for good. Nothing else fitting to cap it off with another perfect day in Greenpoint. I walk up Manhattan Avenue with my tote of vinyl records away from the clear sharp sun as its intensive rays bake into my skin. The skies bluer and the air much dryer. Then I notice something I didn’t expect to find: Sunshine Laundromat. Here’s another place I was dying to visit since my post-operation; one which my radio station friends decided to go without me. I’m here, so why not? I’m about to walk into a surreal dream - in reality.

I walk in and I couldn’t believe it. It’s the first time I walked into a laundromat since my stay in Lindenhurst. I walk down the narrow space past the rogue pinball tables and there was the secret door disguised as stackable units that led into the back room arcade. A speak-easy if I ever saw one. All that stood between me and that Murphy door was the nice lady who ran the place. She told me they would re-open the pinball speakeasy as soon as the city OKs their alcohol license. Sounds hopeful if you ask me. I thanked her for the good news and walked out knowing there will be another reason to come back to Brooklyn.

I head on to the ‘G’ to transfer and ride on the ‘E’ line back to Penn Station. It’s 7PM and the visible sun is coming down for the day; slowly sinking against the perfectly clean sky blue backdrop with no clouds in sight. I board the train back home and take a window seat moving backwards. The train motions and the blinding sun peeks through the window as I feel the frigid blanket of the air conditioner. There’s a sparse placement of riders in the same car as me. I can sit and relax knowing that my entire run of spending money all over New York City and Long Island has come to a satisfying end.

So, I ordered something again for funsies, and it have finally arrived-

It's decorated innersleeves!!!

I saw it recommended to me, and I've been wanting to buy some for my Oreca cards!!!

I especially adore how these sleeves fit Sariel and Powan so much, it's so darn cute-

Sadly tho, it doesn't fit inside the album-

So it's probably going to be used for something else for now- Which is sad, because I actually saw some other cute designs But if it doesn't fit, I don't think I need to buy more-

Under the cut are just close-up photos of the cards with the innersleeves, there's no need to read further-

I was actually still undecided which color fit Powan more I lean toward Pink more tbh, because y'know, complimentary and stuff? Also, love how Cinnamonroll's and My Melody's name accidentally acts as a QR code censor here, very noice

I honestly prefer the frame looking one for Sariel A bit sad that the ribbon was on left instead of right tbh, it would've been a good QR Code censors

Also, few hours after I drafted this post, I suddenly had an idea on what I will use this innersleeves are for the time being,

And it is to decorate Tanta's and Culann's card I'm using in a photocard holder~

Printed View of Umme Block´s State Of Limbo album. Gatefold Cover with printed innersleeve on crystal vinyl. Just loved this project. The visual journey is traveling through the album in a spaceship. Every song has a own planet, the innersleeve shows the route and all planets in detail.

1976 Warner Records sleeve selling sampler album for $2 by mail. The coupon interestingly refers to the inner sleeve as a single word ("innersleeve"). Looks like a pretty cool, if extremely diverse, album.
