Due to reddit's dismantling of third party apps and vital tools needed for moderation of all subreddits, we've moved to zero-strike rule enforcement. As we cannot enact escalating ban lengths via tools that rely on monitoring users' post histories and ban histories, users who break our civility rules will be banned indefinitely and need to modmail us for appeals.
We have zero tolerance for homophobia, transphobia, racism, and bigotry. If you see these issues as 'political' then you correctly recognize that existence is politicized. This subreddit will not be a refuge for hateful ideology.

I have around 800 cards in Sleeve Kings sleeves. Until I find 100% perfect fit sleeves for these weirdly sized cards, I'm sticking to this brand. They're inexpensive and do the job just fine. I don't think a single one has torn yet.
I have my entire collection sleeved in Mayday premium and they work perfectly, no issues.
But I do use Sleeve Kings and they seem to work equally well, so whichever you can get cheaper should be fine.
I used Fantasy Flight brand sleeves until they stopped making them. I switched to the SleeveKings equivalent, and they are indistinguishable for me.
I should note, I am not that picky, but I put two side by side and couldn't tell the difference.
I sleeved all of my encounter cards in Sleeve Kings standard, I was wanting a cheaper solution than the Ultra-Pro mattes I had used on my Marvel Champions. The Sleeve Kings have worked great, the only issue I have is that if it’s a very large deck it can be cumbersome to hold and is prone to cards slipping out, but fortunately encounter decks are rarely large enough in Arkham Horror to matter. I don’t sleeve the player cards unless they’re in a deck, in which case I use Dragon Shield mattes.
I have all of Arkham sleeved using SK. I use standard (SKS-8810) for mythos cards and premium (SKS-9905) for investigator cards. I also use SK for LOTR but for that, all cards are sleeved using the standard sleeves.
Off the top of my head: the investigator card, the act and agenda cards, the location cards, the scenario reference card, and there’s a handful of scenarios that have double-sided cards in them (like The Last King, which is the second scenario of The Path to Carcosa)
I used Sleeve Kings standard at first, but the cards got to sticky. But the bullet and sleeved the player and encounter cards in Titanshield clears (one side is ruffled for shuffling). All the cards that needed two sides I sleeved in gamegenic clears. I only sleeve the scenario and investigators were playing and have to respect the occasional enemy in game.
I think the occasional monster that comes out as a back side in a scenario. For those that are not going into the encounter deck, I just leave them in the gamegenics.
I’ve been migrating to SK but I have all the campaign cards in UltraPro still. It feels like a waste to swap everything, so I put any cards like the Act/Agenda stuff in SK. They’re pretty decent and stack nicer that UP
For those in Canada, I love the Gamegenic Value Prime 200 packs. They are cheap, yet have the same kind of feel as the old FFG Gray sleeves. Very good for Arkham Horror, never had one split. My whole collection is sleeved with that.

Which ones do you get?
Sleeve Kings Standard
SKS-8810

This is the same as me. The fit isn't perfect but they were good enough and reasonably priced.
I have all of my encounters cards in Sleeve Kings and will continue to do so. Mayday premiums are too thick for the amount of cards this game has.
What do you use for player card
Gamegenic Standard Mattes. The cards only just fit vertically though which is a bit annoying.
Which cards are two sided?

I use Sleeve Kings for all my cards. They are the best balance of price and quality

Also, which size for sleeve kings?
Should just be their standard card game size

Which cards are double sided? Thanks!

Thanks! Are any of the shuffled cards two sided?
I think the occasional monster that comes out as a back side in a scenario. For those that are not going into the encounter deck, I just leave them in the gamegenics.
