Wasn't sure of the right section to post this in, since there's not really a general collecting forum on here, but figured I'd put it here since I'm mostly interested in using sleeves for selling on ebay / card shows.
These look pretty interesting. I've always hated CardSavers and only use them when I send stuff in for grading. These might solve a lot of the issues with CardSavers while still being less rigid than toploaders so even better for ESE. I think they'd also take up less space than toploaders so I could fit more cards per box and save on storage space. And it sounds like you don't need a penny sleeve with them and maybe not even a team bag for keeping them sealed as well. Overall a bit less wasteful, I really hate contributing to the massive amount of plastic that is consumed by buying and selling cards.
Really it's gonna come down to price though. The only info I can find so far is $4.99 for a pack of 25, so 20 cents each. I can buy bulk new top loaders for 7 cents each and penny sleeves for, well, a penny. So can't justify paying more than double to switch to the new ones. But if they come out with a good bulk rate buying 1000+ at a time, it might be worth considering.
