Like I said, I just ordered the base set, cap merica, mr fantastic’s version of x-23, and the green gobbo from online retailers.
Would anyone be kind enough to give me an approximate number of card sleeves I’d need to sleeve up all the cards in these sets?
Edited by cd.man.2004550 will do it.
343 in core set
50 per hero pack
80 for goblin.

It's about 60 per hero pack I believe.
The Captain America page says;
"15 Hero cards, 17 cards from the Leadership aspect, and 8 neutral cards. "
Now, that's 40, but you have to count the additional cards for the other aspects (3*3=9 + 3 basics = 12 additional)
You also have to consider the nemesis cards and obligation (another 6)
That brings us to 58. Plus there is Cap's Hero card if you want to sleeve that, and the deck list card that also comes in the pack (60)
Assume the same for Ms Marvel.
Goblin pack on the website says; "This 78-Card pack"
Not sure if that counts all the versions of the villain (6 total, level 1, 2 and 3 for the two scenarios in the box)
To be safe I would assume at least 85.

85 + 60 + 60 + 343 still < 550. 550 will sleeve it all.
When it comes to sleeves, there is only one place on the Internet. The Card Sleeve Sizes for Games mega geek-list on BoardGameGeek. The entry for Marvel Champions is at this url: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/164572/item/7310808#item7310808
541 standard cards, 30 small cards (the status cards). All compatible brands and sizes specified.
This will be updated with further expansions.
I don't know how this thing can exist for so many games.

That's assuming your 343 for the core set is correct also...
EDIT: Which it appears to be, according to the excellent link provided by @Ascarel .

The power of crowd-sourcing information, when used for the power of good.
OK why would you sleeve everything it wont fit well?
Build player decks sleeve the decks in different colors ....
40 - 50 cards per player deck ( 1 per player ) plus optionally sleeve the Identity card (ideally in a clear sleeve)
5 nemesis cards per player should be sleeved in encounter sleeves (we use Green)
Sleeve the Villains and starting stuff in a color (3 Villain stages plus 3 or 4 schemes per villain including Ultrons Environment) I like black you could pre-sleeve each villain
sleeving all villains and starting cards about 25 cards
Encounter cards (green - apx. 38) sleeve the scenario you are running about 20 cards plus 15 std cards plus 3 expert cards.
I tried some Perfect Fit sleeves that seem to be holding up well. They cost less than regular sleeves but more than penny sleeves with slightly less bulk for storage. Don't have to worry about matching colors and can still see the card back artwork.

I have everything sleeved in clear sleeves so I can mix and match different aspects with different heroes vs different Scenarios quickly and easily.
For the majority of the cards I have them in clear sleeves. I buy tons of Mayday premium sleeves specifically for card games. But for certain decks I don't want to break down, I've started being creative with picking out card sleeves. So far it's just for Captain America and Doctor Strange, but I found the fine art collection of Ultra Pro sleeves and it just so happens that one of the art pieces they have used is Washington Crossing the Delaware, which seemed apropos for Cap. For Doctor Strange I've found Ultra Pros with a green dragon scale book print on the back that made me think of the library of Kamar-Taj. And if I was going to keep a Ms. Marvel deck, Munch's The Scream would be my choice.
You would think somebody, somewhere *coughFFGcough* would figure out that Marvel card sleeves would be a hit (and not just for sleeving this game). That said, I do realize Disney could have something to do with it not becoming a thing.
I use matte Dragonshields for my collection, because I can't play any other way. I'm too used to not seeing printed card backs after playing L5R semi-competitively for two years.
I use silver for all Encounter cards, including nemesis sets (obviously), but I go with distinct colours for Villain and Main scheme cards (incidentally, these cards already have a different card back if I recall correctly). They act as a separator of sorts between my villain decks when stashed together in my good ol' cardboard box.
I use black sleeves for all Hero and Aspect cards, but the Hero card itself I sleeve with the colour of the Aspect this deck has been paired with.
The result looks pretty good. I find that a lot of the art deservedly pops out with a black background!

Villains do have a different (purple) back, main schemes are double sided.

Do you unsleeve the hero card for play...? Memorize the alter-egos?

Well, I unsleeve, turn it over, and resleeve? 😉
Before anyone screams "are you mad?" or something, it's really not that big of a deal. When playing with friends who hate the idea, they can just unsleeve once and leave the card on top of the sleeve, as a kind of mini-mat. I just really like the colour identification of Aspects around the table.
Speaking of which, I would take Aspect-themed mats over Hero-based ones in a heartbeat. But that's a theoretical heartbeat, as we have no mats at all for now.

😂 Right, that was quite the brain fart -- I mean of course the main schemes are double sided. I unsleeve/resleeve them too when they progress (TC does that too on their livestream when they play). At least it happens far less often than switching your Hero.

This morning I received the email my 1-4 player mat pre-order is prepping for shipment from FFG. I only ordered the 1 but maybe the rest of "wave 1" is also ready or close to.

Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully Miniature Market won't be far behind.

You could always get some clear sleeve for identity cards and the two-sided goblin cards, to save on the in and out.
If you've got no games that you'd use clear sleeves on, I can understand not buying a pack just for that.
But we all have our preferences.

The disadvantage is in multi-player play.
You can place a card into another player play area (legal) , when it gets discard you may forget which discard pile it goes in. Different color sleeves for different players makes this much more obvious and correctable.
I think it is worth pondering what type of collector do you intend to be. It wont take long and your collection wont fit in the box sleeved if you continue collecting. Mine already doesnt because the lack of dividers doesnt work for me.
At some point you will want to consider how you will store cards you dont use and cards you do use. I have a binder set aside for the unused cards which will eventually morph into different binders for different factions hero/villain...aspects, heroes specific cards.

I already have a substantially bigger box set up with dividers. I’m intending to keep everything sleeved for the moment. 99% of the games I play are solo though (81 solo vs 2 multiplayer so far!) so being able to build interesting matches quickly is my priority.
They always list the amount of sleeves and the sizes you need on the box.
