I would disagree that riffle shuffling CCG cards hurts them "a lot",
as I have been riffle shuffling MtG and VTES cards for literally
decades and they are just beat around the corners, and very far from
unplayable. Perhaps my riffle shuffle is more gentle than normal.
Perhaps, Kevin. But even the "bent around the corners" part doesn't
bode well with me...
In 15+ years of playing CCGs, I have never encountered "bent around
the corners" cards.
"Beat" is the word you used. Thank you to point out that english is you
first language and not mine. That was useful.
Anyway, when you do have plastic sleeves, the lateral shuffle (don't
know the real english name) is efficient enough. Or you can just make
several rows and columns, rinse and repeat, and it works fine too.
I have found anything other than brand-new sleeves near-impossible to
shuffle and very user-unfriendly.
Depends on the sleeves, and how you shuffle them. Some are bad, yes. It's
also a business so you can buy new ones from time to time. Better than
ruining my cards anyday.
I'd humbly suggest that if you believe your VTES cards will be
devalued by shuffling them then you might be in need of some help. ;)
Such humility forces one's admiration.
So you don't care in which condition the cards you get are, and it has no
influence over the price you pay for them ? Good for you.
Cards can be ruined by too much bad shuffling, that's a fact. No help
needed, thanks.
Anyway I don't care that much about the "value", I just like my cards mint
or close enough. And preferably flat (riffle shuffles tend to bend the
cards).
