What I will end up doing in reality is building a deck, convince myself I am going to play it, put it in a box and then store it for 3-5 years before reopening it. With this reality in mind I am going to have to avoid cardboard, and wood boxes due to the high acid content.
@ wizardMN
Thank you for the in depth reply. It will save me quite a bit of money and hassle. As I start to look into my builds I realize some of them might be worth protecting.
I currently use KMC Perfect size inner sleeves and Legion for the outer sleeve. Both have held up extremely well over the last 6+ years (average play time once or twice a week). The oldest most used Legion sleeves have a slight curl at the edges. I have not had one split on me yet. They also are nice to hold and are easy to sleeve into and out of.
I have not tried the Dragon Shield, but they seem to be the most popular. I will give them a try ( I like to have different sleeves for each deck/style).
I have just bought an Ultra Pro Satin Deck tower (it was cheap). I find it matches your description just right. Just enough room for 100+ cards DS.
Can I mention the exact brand and type of box I use on the forums, or would that fall under anti-advertisement rules?
Either way, I suggest looking for boxes that are specifically being marketed for 100+ cards. Chances are that those can hold 100 cards double-sleeved, with the '+' coming into play if you don't double-sleeve.
I have used 100+ card boxes in the past but find with double sleeved cards it becomes too small. The last box I used was one of these, I stored the cards and years later I came back to the deck to find it not double sleeved (when I did DD sleeve they no longer fit).
I cracked the edge when It fell, the cards were fine but it did make me worried about how fragile the case is. It was an Ultimate Guard 100+ case.
as for the anti-advertisement rules, I am specifically asking for brand names and such. It would not be UN-solicited. Of course if you WORKed for such a company I would like that to be disclosed
I am building a few decks in paper and I have been double sleeving. The deck boxes I have are all too small. What is every one else using to hold your treasures?
