So I've seen a comment that the new enhanced box will hold the base game in sleeves. Does anyone know about the expansions as well?
Will it hold all ~1200 cards sleeved in something like penny sleeves?

It won't hold everything in NON-penny sleeves. I don't know about penny sleeves.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what sort of sleeves to buy? I don't play CCG and I've never sleeved any of my other card games but my group is playing SotM so much that I'm already starting to see a tiny bit of wear.
There was a decent conversation earlier on this - check it out.
Thank you for the link. I checked out that thread but it was posted before the Enhanced Edition so I wasnt sure if the advice was up to date. I want to make sure what ever I get will still fit in the awesome new box.
Great point! I don't use sleeves, so I'll have to leave that conversation to others, then. Sorry!
The sleeves I bought for my EE cards are beautiful and wonderful and feel and look great, BUT they are bigger than absolutely necessary and my cards no longer fit in the EE box.
If you care about continuing to use the box, I would get a ruler and take careful measurements of the sleeves and the box yourself.
Used what the CCG guys called "pro fit" sleeves. Very very tight fight, but the cards do fit -- mostly. :/ The tiniest tip of the card sticks out but we can fit every card into the EE box except for one hero deck.
So close!
I found that Rook City cards don't fit inside the pro-fit sleeves, and Infernal Relics cards only barely do. Mind you, if you're prepared to ruthlessly crush the top of your sleeves into the box, everything sort of fits.
I just got done sleeving all my cards. Mayday Games, 63.5 x 88 mm, premium sleeves work perfectly for all 3 sets.
Do they fit in the EE box? Because I just got done sleeving EE, RC, and IR last night with penny sleeves and they only fit if I put them in vertically…which is kind of a bummer.
I used Dragon Shields for the entirety of SotM. They were a very tight fit around the cards without a lot of "overhang," and initially they fit very snugly into the channels. Unfortunately, as I continued sleeving, I found out that the sleeves were actually bowing the middle of the box out ever so slightly, meaning they didn't fit so well as you neared the ends of the channels.
I think I'm going to get one of those big square three-channel card boxes CCG collectors use and decorate it with a huge SotM logo, and use the game's boxes as decorations (as posted elsewhere on this forum), alongside the framed art prints. I plan on cutting one of the channels and capping the two to make a single large space for rulebooks, tokens, and oversize villain cards. Another criteria is that the big CCG box must fit the included official SotM dividers, since those things are awesome!
Off to the game store!

Not even close. I had to make another box (I prepared ahead) that holds them all. It is a shoe box, and has all the cards in 3 rows, and it STILL doesn't have much room left over.
I plan on using the FFG sleeves, the issue I am having in finding a deal to buy the 1000+ sleeves that I will need.
Have we come to the conclusion thus far (to any and all SotM Forumites' knowledge) that there are no sleeves snug enough to fit in the EE box along with RC and IR?
That is absolutely correct.
I've gotten mine to fit sideways without much issues. It's with penny sleeves. Seems to be a little pressure on the sides(left and right), but it seems to be on the inner lining and not the box itself. Will see how this holds up.

But that's also without hero and villain cards, as I keep those in the hard plastic top loaders in one of the expansion boxes. Also 3 decks (villain and enviroments) aren't sleeved yet as I ran out of penny sleeves, but should have plenty of room as I have one of those foam bricks in there.
I finally accepted the fact that I couldn't sleeve the game and use the awesome Enhanced edition box - so I went to the local comic shop and spent $13 on eleven packs of 100 sleeves and a card box similar to the game box but taller and longer. It's not pretty but it's portable.
This is weird, but I got everything, including both expansions, to fit in the EE box, with the insert, using the basic 100 pack of sleeves from Mayday.
I’ll double check later, but I fairly certain that the cards are not being crushed in any way (perhaps the very top of the sleeves?). But they’re all in there, with a tiniest bit of wiggle room to get things out.
Did they fit sideways? Because with penny sleeves they only fit standing up. The box doesn't close all the way, of course, but it's not terrible. Are Mayday sleeves terribly expensive?
