Question about plastic card sleeves again

Hello all,
In my quest to purchase a large quantity of plastic card sleeves, I've run into a small problem.

It seems that all of the ones I've found so far on the internet have a height of 3 5/8 inches.

Around 7 years ago, I purchased about 5,000 of them, and they had a height of 3 3/4 inches.

I really like the taller sleeve, but am unable to locate that size again.

There is a chance that I can locate the company I bought them from 7 years ago. However, who knows if they still exist.

Can anyone help me out?

    Ultra makes sleeves designed to fit vintage cards, if that's what you are going for:

    Ultra Pro Vintage Card Sleeves

    A vendor search on their site comes up goose eggs, but a quick google search shows several sellers including these guys:

    Seller of Ultra Pro Vintage Sleeves

    Good luck,

  • Ultra Pro sleeves are the best.

    I appreciate your assistance, Charlie.

    However, they aren't for vintage, I just like the taller sleeve. That way I can cut one top corner and still have room.

    I found that Collector Safe still makes them 3 3/4 tall, and I just placed a bid on ebay for a 10,000 count case.

    Thanks again.

    Yes collector safe makes them. There are 2 kinds. Both of them say 2 5/8 x 3 3/4 but one is shorter.

    The one you need has a black background with yellow letters "Collector safe Premium" item 900 ==> this measures exactly 3 3/4.
    The other kind is a little shorterless than 3 3/4 (eventhough it says 3 3/4 ). About the same size as ultra pro. This has a Yellow and blue background with black letterings. item 800. I prefer this kind (and ultra pro) when storing in those 400 or 500 count box because they fit perfectly well. The other is a little longer and tend to fold/bend when stored in the 400/500 count boxes and will cause bending of cards.
