Standard Poly Sleeves vs. Ultra Pros Easy Grade Sleeves

Flewbie · March 7, 2018 12:06PM

What are people's thoughts on the easy grade sleeves vs. the standard poly sleeve. Is any portion of the card "exposed" due to the notch on the easy grade sleeves, or does the card slide far enough down in the sleeve that the card is still completely covered by the sleeve. I'd be looking at putting the cards in the sleeve, and then into Card Saver 1's for storage/submissions.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for posting this question, i've never even heard of these and after reading your comment i just ordered 500 of them. Hopefully someone else who has used these can answer you.

So without looking....are you saying I don't have to snip the corners anymore?

I just bought a pack. Curious if anyone has a review because Amazon had two; and both were 1 star

Don't know anything about them except that the front of the material has an angle cut that would seemingly make it easier to slide on the card without damaging the corner. Trying to find out if they work well.

I bought a couple packs a while back and found them to be useless. Perhaps it was user error but the way they designed the sleeve it seemed to catch corners as much or more than a standard penny sleeve. I have gone back to just cutting the corner of the penny sleeve myself.

Don't use these type sleeves, too easy to nick corners. Always use the card saver 1's.

Just got these sleeves delivered and i gotta say they have a weird cut to them. Trying to get the corner of the card under this lip on the right definitely is gonna nick some corners.

This is exactly what I was saying in my post. The design is awful. They just needed to make the sleeve with one corner snipped off. The design they used makes it harder to get the card in without snagging a corner, lol. In modern vernacular: fail.
