I discovered them as well and they are far superior for displaying it storing of cards. I just order more so I could have them on hand as I get my slabs back.

Looked to purchase some over the weekend, saw they were out of stock. Looks like they just got a bunch back in stock as of this morning. Figured I'd let everyone know!

I have stacks of these for both PSA and BGS slabs. Best option, hands down.

Default Superior Fit sleeves make PSA slabs way sexier AKA pants down

What do you guys do with the tiny little bit at the corners? Sometimes I snip them, sometimes I fold them. Still working out the neatest solution.
Also, these are really great sleeves and definitely improve the appearance of your cards/slabs. (It’s not just the fit, but the clarity of the plastic.)
Loved them since I received my first pack.

I’ve started putting my PC that are in top loaders into Superior Fit.

In case anyone was on the fence like I was about the inner sleeves (penny sleeve replacement), I tried some out and I love them. I don't see a big need to use them in cards that are toploaded and in a toploader sleeve, but I love them for cards that I keep in binders that aren't quite nice enough to keep in a toploader, but warrant a bit more protection. The 20-55 point inner sleeves are the best fitting sleeves I've found of any of the different sizes

I recently placed an order for toploader sleeves and the equivalent of penny sleeves. Took about a week for my order to arrive.

I would like to order some but theyre out of like everything. But i guess thats normal for times like this. Can’t wait til they’re back in stock.
On a side note, besides being sexy, if you’re selling something, if the buyer notices the superior fit, they’ll be impressed.

Yeah inventory has been spotty, expected this year though. They do get restocks in fairly regularly, maybe every few weeks? They don't last long, though. Some of the product pages have a box where you can enter your email to get notified when that particular product has stock again. That was really helpful to me when looking for one of the popular sizes

Once they're in stock and I get an order in, I've been receiving the order within a week or so

These guys close on the weekend and for some reason there inventory goes to zero. Look during the week and all the product is there.

I wondered this as well a couple months ago so I gave them a call and that what they told me.

They shipped my order pretty quickly, but USPS must have decided they want to hold on to it a little while longer. Been stuck in the next city over for several days now.

Oh well, still really looking forward to getting them. Gonna start putting my PC in these.

sometimes snip. usually, I will just bend them so they aren't as pointy. depending on how well the taper was cut, will effect how much the corners protrude.

Bigger companies are starting to rip these off. Kind of disappointing, as I also love the product, especially for toploaders. Hopefully they can keep up.

USPS finally brought me my order today. These are absolutely as good as everyone says. I have found my long term storage solution and really love how they look. If I had to not pick it'd be that the 20-55 point toploader sleeves could stand to be just a touch narrower. But that'd probably make it too difficult to get the toploader in...

I made the mistake of not reading the labels on the packaging and inadvertently used the wrong size on about a dozen cards. At first I was a bit disappointed with the fit, but I eventually realized my miatake. Luckily they can be salvaged with care. Here's a shot showing the difference:



Here's the first batch I re-sleeved:



Overall I'm super pleased. Glad I ordered enough to last a while.

only downside is due to manufacturing tolerances, some batches are tighter fit than other batches. this leads to such a tight fit that some split. last pack of 50 that I just finished going though, I inadvertently split about 15 when trying to sleeve. and ive done hundreds of these so it wasn't just me. I got most carefully on, but some split immediately. so when you buy, always purchase a little extra in case.

I also keep a sleeve of the thicker ones (premium, 60 micron) for more valuable slabs and also a sleeve of their PSA jersey/swatch size, for the newer thicker slabs for Jersey/swatch cards.

Yeah haven’t had too much of an issue with them being too tight. Did get one pack of the 20pt-55pt toploaders that had a nice print line through the middle of the front which my ocd couldn’t take. Never bothered to send them back or call customer service being as they’re not expensive to begin with. I just use them for cards I won’t look at as much.

Assuming you want it showing the tapered flap, so here's the backside.

Can anyone point me to protective sleeves for my protective sleeves? I need a 3rd layer of plastic to protect my 2nd layer of plastic

Yes, they have penny sleeves with flaps. So you can penny-sleeve, then topload, then use one of their toploader sleeves too.
But I suspect that may not be a sufficient level of protection for you. A fourth layer perhaps?
