I stopped stacking my card sleeves the lazy way and it saved me 12 games

For the longest time I would just toss sleeved cards back in the box after a session, not caring about orientation or evenness. Last month I started flipping every sleeve so the opening faces down before stacking them back in the insert. Since then, I haven't had a single corner get jammed up or a sleeve split during setup. Anyone else find that simple tricks like this make a big difference with their collection?

Oh man, I started doing this exact thing about six months ago with my KeyForge deck sleeves. I used to just shove them in the box however they landed and I'd constantly have sleeves peeling or corners bending when I'd try to shuffle. It drove me nuts. Flipping them so the openings face down was a total game changer for me too. Now my sleeves actually last through multiple game nights instead of falling apart after a few weeks.

Funny enough @angela_carter, I used to think that didn't matter at all until I tried it.
