So I recently got a bunch of the Japanese Battle Beasts cards, I was wondering if I should laminate them or not. Ideas, suggestions?

I don't really see the benefit of lamination; I mean there are so many ways you can protect them that aren't permanent. I just keep all of mine in protective pages in a binder. As long as they're kept in a dry space they should remain safe enough.

I would use the hard plastic single card shells- cards do best in these.  You could stab a laminated or plastic covered card and the crease would kill it.  The hard plastic guarantees ultimate protection..

OK, eventually down the road I want to make a specialized display, behind each beast will be their card. I might end up doing the hard sleeves.

yeah, I've been wanting to do this myself for a while. I bought all the goods for it, just don't have the shelf space at the moment. 

 

I haven't been able to find any sleeves that exactly fit the cards; idk what this form-factor is called or if it's just a Japanese thing, but I've taken them into Baseball/Trading card shops before to see if they had anything that fits, and have yet to get anything but a, "WTF is this, why are they so skinny" response.

I need some of those stands!

What are they called (as silly as it sounds) I can't find them anymore on feebay.

Not that this is cost effective, but has anyone ever tried getting their battle beasts cards graded through PSA?

idk, BBs are a niche enough market that this wouldn't end up being worth it. I feel the same way about AFA
