I personally use the matte and clear for my modern deck. They have a really smooth shuffle feel compared to regular art sleeves and they have held up pretty well so far. Granted, I am very gentle when shuffling my deck. As for the crease issue, I avoid it by just double sleeving which is more than sufficient in my opinion.

[@DoubleSleeved]

Great feedback. This personal view is really helpful for others looking to purchase. Thank you ☺️

Cool vid, thanks. I thought triple sleeves were silly at first but they actually appeal to me. I have alot of nice cards double sleeved. I hesitate to flip through and appreciate them as much as I would like simply because I don't want to scuz up my (regular, nothing special) sleeves. Now I'm not worried at all about my third layer acquiring a bit of grim and I feel I can flip through my nice cards a million times as I enjoy to do.

[@DoubleSleeved]

Perfect. That is exactly their use. Excellent that you enjoy them, hopefully others will be comforted by your example ☺️

Would love to see a review of the gamegenic outer sleeves! They are extremely affordable.

[@DoubleSleeved]

They are in the pile! Should be coming before the end of the year 😅

Would love to see a review of the bcw elite 2 deck guards, I've tried the kmc hyper mates and the dragon shield ones and they both are tight enough to make my fow cards difficult to sleeve, surprisingly the cheap bcw deck guards were much easier to sleeve so I just ordered a set of the "premium" ones, will wait a couple of days.

[@Francisco1mrc]

Which outer sleeves would you suggest? I am currently using the gamegenic ones and I find them too sticky to shuffle and they are also quite matte which means foils don't look so good. I also use art sleeves under the outer sleeves.

[@DoubleSleeved]

Dragon Shield have some good ones. It's a matter of personal preference though so watch our review and see what you think 😊

[@awesomecse3444]

I have ton of oldest sleeves sealed, max protection neo sleeves, bigger than Dragon Shield mini sleeves, but it’s small sleeves. Hope max protection Neo sleeves fit in this sleeves. So hope you have max protection Neo sleeves, let me know if it’s good fit

[@DoubleSleeved]

Unfortunately we don't have those. Max protection neo sleeves? Not heard of these before we will investigate but unlikely to be soon I'm afraid 😞

[@pr0ven]

What outer sleeves you recommend for one piece tcg

[@DoubleSleeved]

Probably dragon shield if you have nice art sleeves. But check our review of those first 😊

[@Firefox14131]

How is the shuffle feel on the Super Hards?

[@DoubleSleeved]

They shuffle ok, not the best but certainly good enough. If you play regularly then they will need changing from time to time but it's better/cheaper than changing expensive or rare art sleeves :)

[@Firefox14131]

Thanks!
