I'm seriously considering switching to proxies, who to buy from? (mtgzone.com)

I'd rather get very good ones instead of printing my own (I have a very basic printer).

I looked around the bootleg subred, is Ron still the way to go nowadays? Has anyone tried liberproxies?

Also, am I understanding correctly that Ron won't print just any card, but only those in the Google spreadsheet? If yes, then liberproxies sounds like the better option for me.

Let me know your experiences!

This is a great question, thanks for asking it. I recently went looking for proxies for the first time and found a number of sellers on both Etsy and eBay. The one I settled on has nice art and typo-free text, but the cards seem to be slightly thinner and lighter than a real Magic card. I don't know yet whether I'll be able to tell the difference once they're sleeved up.

I didn't know about the resources others have suggested here and will definitely check them out for next time.
