Sorry but I cannot compare the TBG 50 micron or the Arcane Tinman like you can since I don't own any sleeves from those company but I'm glad to hear that some sleeve do fit with those boxes.

My previous comment is only for the sleeves from FFG and the ones from Mayday Games.

As I've mention before you can push down the cards and they will fit but I would not purposedly tempted fate and end up with slightly bended Talisman cards.

Cheers

Wanted to get some FFG sleeves today but postage to Belgium was $35 extra. I think that can be send out cheaper so I closed the shop. Anybody knows a shop in Europe?

Arcane Tinmen site says they are currently seeking a Belgian distributor, but shipping from Denmark would probably be cheaper. Found this link after a quick search on BGG:

www.mandragon.be/home/winkels/4254.article

I think that lists game stores in Belgium.

I bought my Arcane Tinmen Sleeves here (scroll down to see the FFG ones).

They ship to all EU countries.

Mayday has free shipping worldwide if you get at least 25 packs of sleeves. While that's more then you need at the moment it beats paying shipping. Now I got more sleeves but no shipping but will be able to use them on all future Talisman expansions...

I don't know how long this offer will be on for but it is related to Essen and they not being able to be there.

After reading the posts, I've been trying to find "Really Useful Boxes". Over the past two weeks, I have visited about ten local hobby stores & office supply stores trying to find them or another card storage alternative. Well finally today, I found a store that stocked the boxes. They have a really large supply and as an added bonus they were on sale at buy 2 get 1 free. What could be better? I bought a supply for my cards and have transferred all of Talisman cards over to them. My cards are sleeved with TBG 50 micron sleeves and they fit just fine. As a side note: as soon as my wife saw the boxes, she immediately knew that they were for my Talisman game. She also saw some uses that she could have for the boxes and is going back to the store tomorrow to get some for her personal use. She doesn't know it yet but I think I'll have her pick some more up for me.

A question about card sleeves:

If I use the sleeves from Arcane Tinmen and FFG in one deck, will I see (top or sides of cards in shuffled deck) or feel a difference?

I know this is an old post, but after reading it I decided to go to Office Depot last night and pick up some of the boxes. At least my Office Depot has a buy 1 get 1 free sale that lasts till the 15th. Most boxes I bought were 99cents a piece, and getting 2 for a buck was pretty awesome. I was able to pick up everything, including a carrying case for everything so I can leave my original boxes at home, for around $20 because of this sale. Would have been like $8 without the big case.

If you are interested in using these boxes, this might be a perfect time.
