Default When combining multiple sets, how do you hide the card backs?

Basically, I'd like to combine multiple sets together but I don't like that people can see what set the next card is from. Card sleeves seem like an option but that would be expensive! Any ideas?

Using card sleeves is really the best choice. Or you can decide that knowing which set the cards are from doesn't really matter (because there are still LOTS of cards from each set).

Another option I've heard people use is to, instead of shuffling different sets together, just have separate stacks for each set, and whenever you draw a card, roll a die or flip a coin (or use some other randomizer) to decide which deck to draw from. It slows things down a bit, but does mean that nobody knows which set the next card drawn will come from.

If you don't want people to know what set the cards in your HAND are from, then your only real choices are to use card sleeves or else hide your entire hand somehow (and we like to be able to see other people's hands because we don't always trust them to notice when their hand is over the allowed size at the end of the turn).

Thanks for the responses.

Do you guys know of cost effective sleeves?
