I am guilty of being the dumb kid that used a rubber band on my unsleeved cards back in the day. No sock, though, just rawdoggin’ it in my backpack next to my binder and my bagged lunch.

One of my first purchases at a real LGS was a deckbox and some clear sleeves.

There was this kid that would come into the FLGS where I worked/played with his deck held in a rubber band. Some of the guys at the store bought him a box and sleeves.

omg Gator Days is my current favourite webcomic series. it’s so wholesome!
