Shoutout to the guy who showed me how to sleeve my cards at PAX Unplugged in Philly

I was at PAX Unplugged last December and this random dude saw me struggling with penny sleeves for my deck. He walked over and spent 10 minutes showing me how to use Dragon Shield sleeves without getting air bubbles or creased corners. Turns out I was putting them in upside down the whole time! He even had a whole system for organizing expansions by color. After that, I redid my entire Gloomhaven set in one afternoon. It felt so good to have everything uniform and protected. Has anyone else had a stranger at a con change how you do something simple like this?

I've noticed this happens all the time at cons, people just see someone struggling and jump in to help. It's like the whole place runs on random acts of kindness from strangers who are way too good at their hobbies.

That random guy is doing the lord's work, penny sleeves are basically just clear frustration. Bet he had a whole binder system too that he'd totally show you if you asked.
