I bought a pack of Sentinels as my first deck to learn cardistry with. The deck lasted me about a weak and a half before the box was falling apart and the cards were becoming too dirty on the sides. I then bought a pack of standard Bicycles from Walmart (ugh) and about 5 days later the box is becoming frayed and the side lips are ripping on the edges.
Is this happening because I am still new to this? Is there something I can do to keep the boxes in better shape? It drives me crazy to see the awesome Sentinels box falling apart on me. I put the deck in my pocket all day and the box comes in and out of there constantly and so is this just normal?
Also, with a nice deck like the Sentinels, how long should they last before they are retired?
Thanks.
