7442784515 Deck Protectors - Pro-Matte Black

Perfect, same ol' Ultra Pro Matte card sleeves as they have been for years. The people saying there's a "defect" that they have the Ultra Pro stamp on the front clearly have never used these before. That's not a defect, been that way for probably decades at this point.

You don’t see people mention these and the Eclipses much compared to certain other brands now, but I’ll tell you why I still use them: So I can fit my double-sleeved (with kmc perfect fits) commander decks into 90% of deck boxes instead of 10% of deck boxes. I see people doing the wildest searches for boxes that will properly fit their other double-sleeved commander decks, still complaining about 133+ boxes for 100 cards, meanwhile I’m using pretty much whatever variety of deck boxes I want once the air is out of the sleeves, and my cards are in the same condition they went into these. Reasonable thickness (i.e. thin), reasonable price, I like the matte front even if it dulls foils because it won’t stick, slide, glare or get scratched up and ugly like the glossy fronts that start out pretty. Also shuffles better.

Correct size for American pokemon cards. Japanese cards use a slightly smaller dimension.

Perfect, daughter loves them

Ultra Pro sleeves. They’ve been around since the beginning so the product speaks for itself. Really only writing this review to point out the seal on the front IS INTENDED and not a defect. As someone that has used plenty of brands, that little seal really helps to keep the cards from sticking together and makes shuffling much easier, in my opinion. Regardless, it’s intended so if you don’t like that “feature”, look elsewhere.

When the sleeves first arrived i thought it was colored all around. It was actually colored on one side, and really clear on the front. It looked like there was no clear plastic there, but thats just how clear these sleeves are. These sleeves are somewhat thin from the back to where its a little transparent, but thats no problem for the pokemon cards im using these for. Hopefully these sleeves will last a long time to come.

These are decent sleeves and often what I turn to for limited tournaments, but they are far less durable than some other brands. After a few uses or a day of gaming you can be sure to have plenty of bent corners. Great for a draft or two, but far to flimsy for your prized constructed deck. That said, these get a pretty solid rating because the shuffle feel is nice and smooth, and they are way better than a lot of the non-matte sleeves.

These are my absolute favorite sleeves. High quality, easy to shuffle, non-glare, affordable, offers great protection, and there are a ton of different colors to choose from. I've played Magic: The Gathering religiously for the last 15 years. I always sleeve my cards. I've used many, many different types of sleeves and for a long time, I was 100% biased towards Dragon Shield. But over the last few years, I've pulled a complete 180 and switched out all 30+ of my 60 card decks to these Ultra Pro "Pro-Matte" non-glare sleeves. Some people complain that these sleeves aren't as durable as Dragon Shields, but I've honestly torn just as many Dragon Shield sleeves as these Ultra Pro sleeves. Did I mention these sleeves shuffle like a dream? You simply can't beat the value of these sleeves. Highly recommend!
