Arjiekwei 2000 Card Sleeves Top Loaders for Cards, 3"X4" Baseball Card Protectors Hard Plastic, Premium Toploaders Card Holder for Sports Football Trading Cards (1000 Toploaders + 1000 Penny Sleeves)

After exclusively using UltraPro for years and thousands of sports cards, their price went up substantially. I had mixed results with the quality of those, namely there was a lot of top loader variation in the opening thickness, plastic dust and debris, and a couple cases were heat damages and unusable that I returned. I also found that you had to really be careful about damage when inserting into the penny sleeves, and on really good cards I would cut the corner at 45 degrees to minimize insertion damage. I just assumed that all card sleeves were like that. So, I gave these a try and am very impressed with the quality after using 3000 (30 different boxes) cards and sleeves. The quality and consistency of the top loader is excellent. I have found very little plastic dust or debris in 95% of them and even minimal amounts in those I have. Penny sleeved cards go in very well and are definitely overall tighter entry than Ultrapros, and in many cases you have to get the card in there and tap the bottom a few times to fully seat it. The plus side of course is fewer cards easily sliding out. The penny sleeves are also quite nice, but I do wish they were just a couple milliliters longer as the top of the card just fits inside by a few mm which for some might be cutting it too close. Others may like the better fit. Even the packaging on the boxes holding the loaders and sleeves are better quality than the Ultrapros and should hold up much better to use as standalone holders for storage. Overall I’m thus far very impressed with these and will at least for now switch to them for the consistently better quality and lower price.

Solid Protection at a Great Value The Arjiekwei 2000 Card Sleeves Set is an excellent choice for collectors who need an affordable way to protect their trading cards. With 1,000 hard plastic top loaders and 1,000 soft sleeves, this set provides everything you need to keep your collection safe from dust, scratches, and minor bending. Whether you collect sports cards, Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, or other trading card games, these sleeves offer a reliable storage solution. Pros: ✅ Great Value for the Quantity – Finding a set with both hard and soft sleeves at this price is a great deal. It’s perfect for collectors who want to protect a large number of cards without breaking the bank. ✅ Standard Size Compatibility – The sleeves fit most standard 2.5" x 3.5" cards, including sports trading cards, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Magic: The Gathering. ✅ Dual Protection – The soft inner sleeves prevent scratches, while the hard plastic top loaders add an extra layer of security against bending and damage. ✅ Decent Durability – The top loaders are rigid and clear, allowing for good card visibility while still offering reasonable protection. Cons: ❌ Top Loaders Can Be a Bit Tight – Some of the hard sleeves feel a little too snug, making it tricky to insert cards without worrying about edge wear or corner damage. ❌ Plastic Quality Isn’t the Thickest – While these top loaders do the job, they aren’t as thick or rigid as premium brands like Ultra Pro or BCW. For high-value cards, you may want something sturdier. ❌ Soft Sleeves Feel a Bit Thin – While the inner sleeves work fine for casual protection, they are on the thinner side, so they might not be as protective as higher-end sleeves. Final Thoughts For the price, this 2000-piece sleeve set is a great value for bulk collectors or those looking for an affordable way to store their cards. While the hard plastic isn’t as thick as premium brands, it still offers a good level of protection for everyday storage and handling. If you’re looking for heavy-duty protection for rare or expensive cards, you might want to invest in a higher-end option. However, for general use, casual collecting, and bulk storage, this is a solid choice. Would recommend!

These protected our cards pretty well. They seem to be of good quality, although a few, not many, were cracked a bit on the sides, which we had to throw away. Other than that, they look great and are a good value for the money.

Quick delivery. Protective sleeves were as described. With the sports card market heating up it was good to get some of more recent acquisitions safely protected. Will consider purchasing more as the need arises.

I just got the 500-spot of these top loaders and while it's early, I'd say they're legit. They seem really well-glued and it must be good glue because they also seem a lot more flexible than others - most others have that crunch sound as the glue cracks and they start to fall apart. But these can bend quite well. I put a badly warped chrome card in it and didn't creak or come apart at all. It just opened up a bit more so they're probably not all too good at uncurving cards. They are easy to use as well as cards go in smoothly especially if you penny sleeve it first. It's important stuff if you're a collector. Or even if you're not, I suppose unless you're my wife who apparently doesn't "Give. A. ...", you know, you've heard it. Anyway, these top loaders have a slight blue tinge but no more than many others, and the cards fit very well, regular cards and thicker cards like chromes. Not patch cards. So, all in all, best I've seen in a while especially for the price! Well done, people. And she spoke the periods.
