Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been playing board games and MTG for a few years and have probably sleeved thousands of cards since. Here is a round up of sleeves I've used in the past. TITANSHIELD: 5/5 Cost: 9.99 on Amazon for 150 sleeves Quality: These are a really good deal. The quality is on par with high end sleeves: 100 micron thick, matte on one side and clear on the other side. The fit is great, it shuffles well, the card stays put and there is little room to wiggle in. It comes in a pack of 150 (the largest I've seen) and fits most of my card games so I don't have to buy multiple packs. From the 3 packs I've purchased, I haven't had any split sleeves. The sleeves are also crystal clear and doesn't have that annoying hologram that UltraPro sleeves have. I am quite impressed and highly recommend these for all novice and advanced gamers. MAYDAY SLEEVES 2/5 Cost: $4.70 on Amazon for 100 sleeves Quality: These were by far the thinnest and flimsiest. They were identical to penny sleeves and did not offer any protection. They were also not matte and had a glare which could be annoying if it hits the light. They fit loose and because of that the card moves around and falls out easily. They do not shuffle well and I noticed bent corners after a couple of plays. 3 sleeves out of the 100 ripped after a few times playing them. Quite disappointing and wouldn't recommend. FANTASY FLIGHT SLEEVES 3/5 Cost: $6.95 for 50 Standard Sleeves Quality: I believe Fantasy Flight caters specifically for their own games so note that Standard size will NOT fit the MTG cards (see my picture). What I liked about these were the thickness which makes them quite durable. The downside was that it was expensive for the quality and that they weren't matte. If your're an MTG gamer, I would not bother with these. ULTRA PRO MATTE 3.5/5 Cost: $9.93 on Amazon for 100 sleeves Quality: The most annoying aspect of Ultra Pro Matte sleeves is their hologram on every single sleeve! It's unpredictable and they are somewhere different each time. Even though the sleeves was matte, I still experienced a little glare. The matteness also toned down the true colours of the card - under the sleeves they look somewhat opaque. Titanshield on the other end were more true to color. They are better quality than the rest, but I did not see any difference between this and Titanshield. If anything, Titanshield was slightly better as it was more matte than Ultra Pro. Out of the pack I purchased, there was one defective sleeve with openings on both the top and bottom. Other than that, they stack well and shuffle well. Final Verdict: TITANSHIELD SLEEVES Hands down, Titanshield sleeves are the best in the price range in terms of quality, fit, shuffle and overall durability. I only wish they came in more colours. I haven't tried Dragonshield sleeves yet as I heard they are top of the range; but also expensive ($10.86 for 100) on Amazon. I'll update this review when I've tried them.
