Do you double sleeve your decks? Why / why not?

I don’t have that much first hand experience but here’s a quick literary review of random internet posts:

Pros

  • Cards are protected from liquids
  • Keeps foils planar
  • Top part of the card is protected from dirt
    • Is this really such a problem?
  • Some people like the shuffle feel
  • Cards remain single sleeved when you remove the outer sleeves and put them into a binder

Cons

  • More costly
  • Thicker decks, especially in 100 card formats
  • Deck boxes become tight, trouble fitting tokens etc.
  • Shuffling may become more cumbersome

    @Tiuku In my binder all the expensive cards have an inner sleeve and I usually double sleeve decks that I am going to use in a tournament. It does protect a lot the surface of the cards from scratching when you take it off the binder or change the outter sleeve.
