I'm a big fan of the old school black lotus ones by ultra pro. Unfortunately ultra pro is now manufacturing their sleeves in China instead of LA so their quality has definitely declined.

I'm finally starting to stock sleeves for my biz and wanted to see what everybody's favorites were so I can make sure to carry what's popular (since I don't have room to stock 200 different types of sleeves or the available cash to drop 10k on deck protectors).

Feel free to link to a product so I can see what it looks like.

Edit - I already bought quite a bit of KMC (perfect fit, matte, super, etc.. but none with pictures).

KMC Matte Dark Blue or Black.

The old KMC Gunmetal were the best though.

Dragon shield, I have black but white and blue look cool. They also protect your cards and shuffle really well.

I'm using these now and they seem manufactured well. I think the classical look is appealing.

I also bought some with the mana symbols on back (like these) and they have a similar feel.

im still waiting for a brand that continuesly produces 100 identical sleeves.

with every brand so far ive tried to end up with sleeves that where different in colour, weld, with, height, gloss or something.

if anyboody wants 800 orange sleeves, let me know. they are same brand. but roughly 200 different sizes.

KMC Matte are my favorites, however just regular textured ultra pros are just fine as well.

I like Dragon shield, but the sleeves seem to be different lengths every time I get a box. Sometimes they are almost too short to fit a card and other times there is lots of buffer room.

Dragonshields. I've been very fortunate to not receive a miscut set of sleeves and often I end up with over 100 in the box which is always nice.

KMC Black or white. They fit more snugly than other types which to me is nice. I can fit a card in a kmc in a dragonshield, which I really don't care for, borders aren't uniform and air gets trapped in there.

Perfect size + Ultra Pros. (Currently white cause I have 600 laying around. Will probably change when they get used.)

I'm really liking Ultra Pro's new matte sleeves; I have five decks sleeved up in them, and I play them regularly and not a single sleeve has torn yet (and I'm a pretty rough shuffler.)

But by far my favorites (with art) are Max Protection "Thirst" and "Flaming Alter" sleeves; they are amazingly sexy.

And Dragon Shield black and blue are great too.

+1

Those Baby Blue sleeves are straight up sexy. Also can't go wrong with the purp and green ones.

My cube uses Dragon Shiled Blue. You've seen it, works fine. ^^^

It's all preference.

If you want quality and protection the new triple bagging is getting popular.

KMC perfect fits + any brand deck protector + KMC character guards.

On a side note, has anybody tried Deck Prot sleeves? They're pretty new and made in Taiwan so i'm not sure how different quality would be from the rest.
