Anyone knows where I can get card sleeves that fit blue moon cards?
Thanks

If you find out be sure to let everyone else know. No one has found any yet to my knowledge.

There's a standing offer of a place in the FAQ acknowledgements for anyone who does. Not a lot, but it's the best offer I had available. Actually I suspect we could do a whip around for a moderate amount of GeekGold too - and if you cornered the market you'd probably make a bit of real money.

I have only seen 3" x 4", which would have a quarter inch of slop in each direction, which would drive most people insane.

These look very close. 2-15/16" by 3-3/4" They seal shut with an adhesive flap, and the base rate is .11 apiece. If you order 1000 they drop to .05

If they do happen to work and everyone is filled with love and gratitude, I take paypal or spare decks

120 mm x 70 mm is just about 4 3/4" x 2 3/4". (In figuring this, I found that Google can make calculations like this just by putting "120 mm to in" into the search box. Whee!) Anyway, wouldn't you want the 2 15/16" by 5 3/4" sleeves just a little farther down the page? Some of the extra inch folds over, right? Easy to explain to my wife that I'm blowing $30 on plastic sleeves for my Blue Moon cards, right?

Uh yeah, that's what I meant! Do I still get my name immortalized in the faq?

Has anyone actually used these? Do the cards shuffle well with them?

Can't see how they could be any harder to shuffle than they are already. They are too thick and stiff to "thumb shuffle" like regular cards and the size makes them awkward to side shuffle as well. We as often as not just swirl them around face down on the table to mix them up then gather them up into our decks. What were they thinking when they chose the size and the card stock?? Not a bad game though...

Hmmm..I have no difficulty doing either riffle or overhand shuffles. But then, I shuffle cards almost compulsively so perhaps I can manage the greater degree of difficulty

Confirmation needed, but you're looking good. If someone gets any - I've tried asking for the single sample they offer, but don't know if they'll post overseas - a photo would be good, words good enough.

I also contacted forbesproducts about a sample and asked for a bid on customs.

Update: I haven't heard back from the custom sleeve manufacturer. I actually bought a copy of the game today, and those cards *are* freakishly tall!
I think the best bet would be a xyron 900 cold laminator.

Although it makes finding sleeves, I love the size and heft of the stock, personally.

I also like this "tarot" card size. Knizia's Lost Cities also has large cards. They make a great "snap" when you play them with vigor, especially when you zing your opponent.
P.S. I don't bother with card protectors. I like a game with a "well-loved" feel.

They are up to 2-1/2'' x 4-7/8''. Converting that to more useful units, that's 63.5 mm x 144 mm. Blue Moon cards are 70 mm x 120 mm, so they won't fit.
Still looking ...

My work will laminate a 2' x 1' area for 75 cents. I'm too lazy to do the math, but that seems almost affordable. Through in a paper punch and you have some cards that will survive a nuclear war. However, replacement decks are $6.75 at online retailers, so probably not worth the time and money.

Never say never! Card sleeves for Blue Moon cards (and other types of cards):

The only problem is that this shop is located in Korea...

I think that
http://www.interhobby.co.kr/shop/shopdetail.html?brandcode=0...
is the right product, 125 mm x 72 mm (I'm assuming that's card, not sleeve, dimensions) and it looks like 100 for 2000 won, which is a reasonable price. I'd be prepared to order say 4 sets for me, but while I can get to the checkout (the universal shopping cart symbol) even with the aid of Google's Korean to English Beta tool, I can't get much further. I think there's a membership, not just credit card and go. (Common, but not helpful.) I might try the longshot of an email in English (I can find their email address) but I'm not optimistic. I have one other idea, but in the meanwhile two steps forward, one step back.
