yeah I asked him before I bought them, he received loose ones with the traders order, thanks though I read your post before I bought them about mixing sleeves, thanks for the heads up
like normal, you would have to buy more than 1 album to complete a set of cards if you want to look after your investment, just like the traders and elite sets, you buy more albums just to get the sleeves out to put in the first or 2nd album to complete the subsets, do not put different sleeves in with other makers sleeves, they are made from different types of plastics and can react with each other over time.
Esp would be aware of this, it comes down to money, that's why they only include so many sleeves per album, then you have to buy more of their product.
Brett, manufacturers of sleeves use certain chemicals in the makeup of their sleeves, ie Ultra-pro sleeves are thicker and last a lot longer, they do not tear as easily as ESP or select manufactured ones.
Chemicals react with each other over a period of time.
In saying that, if you want to keep the value of the cards for any reason it would be advisable to keep all sleeves in any one album the same.
If you need to put more than a set of cards ie 1 card per sleeve 9 pocket then you have to purchase 2 albums.
It all comes down to how much you want to spend on cards, basic set, plus inserts, plus promo page, 1 unopened pack, 1 wrapper ect all in one album.
to put it simply NO.
That is why they do it like they do, it is a simple way to manufacture the product, it is simply for kids.
1 Album all together no adding sleeves, if you are really a collector and like to have everything together you have to spend more money and find a way of doing it.

James, get an album at the newsagent have a look inside and you will see that it is bindered together, therefore you cannot add sleeves just like the last ones.
It is just like ESP all over AGAIN, to tell everyone total BULLSHIT.
