i use the Ultra Pro 66x91mm as well, because they fit absolutely perfectly.
i tried using the FFG 'lord of the rings' sleeves, with the artwork on the back, but they dont fit nearly as good. the insides of them are white, and you end up with a white border visible around all of the cards. a lot of the cards are dark or totally black, and having a white border around them doesnt look too good

Has anyone else had this problem with the FFG Lord of the Rings Art Sleeves? I just bought the game, it arrived yesterday, and I now have everything sleeved with Mayday regular sleeves which seem to work fine. I was considering ordering a pack of the Gimli Art Sleeves to use once I get the hang of deck building and create a playing deck that I want to keep together. But if the white marring of the cards is a common issue with the sleeves, I'll toss that idea.

I imagine that it is always present. The issue is whether you are put off by it, or not. I was contemplating buying some of the Gimli or Gandalf sleeves to put on heroes, and free up the 'normal' sleeves that they are currently in to put elsewhere - there being a shortage of the FFG sleeves everywhere. But given Simbo's comments, I will not bother.
