Are you ready for one helluva exciting discussion topic?!
I'm likely not the only one to wanna know this, so it may be a dumb question, but would y'all humour me?
Which are the best size cards to use to protect your X-wing upgrade, crew, ship and everything cards?
Thanks.

For the upgrade cards, you're looking for Mini USA sleeves. The Mini EU sleeves are a little too big.
Look for the yellow packets of FFG sleeves for your small cards
For the Pilot cards I know its Grey but I think the Art Sleeves also fit, I've held off on art sleeves for X-wing cards as they are face up almost 90% of the time they are in use. May get some clear sleeves however.
Speaking of the FFG yellow pack mini US sleeves, they fit the damage decks as well. And now that huge ships appear to be coming with two decks each unique to that ship, we're going to need a lot more sleeves.
I've sleeved all of my cards, more as a way to distinguish them so the don't ever get mixed up with someone else's than for protection.
As has been stated, the FFG sleeves in the yellow packaging fit the small cards for x-wing.
And as a note, FFG games include on the back of the box a little note about what sleeves are needed for each game. It's a little blue box that says "Fantasy Flight Supply" and will have a couple of colored boxes that correspond to the package color of the sleeves you need. I believe each box has a number in it as well to indicate how many packages of sleeves are needed for the cards in that box.
Does anyone know a source for mini sleeves in different colors? That could help keeping damage decks apart.
I never noticed the Fantasy Flight Supply notation before. Nice tip.

I spotted it when I was sleeving all of my Twilight Imperium cards. Now THAT was a lot of sleeves.

No, I'm afraid I don't. You could print out little card sized, colored rectangles and slip them in with the cards. Might be an issue at a tournament but I doubt anyone else would have a problem with that.

Here ya go. I grabbed a few of these from my FLGS and they work great.

For the pilot cards, any standard size card sleeves work. I use the FFG brand (the clear ones).

Not yet, but a while ago I talked with a guy from Mayday Games online and suggested the idea and they liked it a lot and said they would try and make it happen. So hopefully it will happen at some point.
