Ultra Pro Semi-Rigid 1/2" Lip Sleeves, Plastic, 200ct

Pokémon cards do not fit in these.

High quality clear and durable sleeves for card storage and travel packaging for grading services these are the only sleeves I use for sending my trading cards to the grading services. They are priced very affordably and are worth the money for the security and peace of mind that your cards are safe

Sold a bunch of Pokemon cards in lots of 20-40 cards and needed top loaders to ship them out in. Was surprised to see prices on them went up quite a bit since last time I bought them which was 6-7 months ago. Bought 200 of them for $17, but now they're $24+ for 200 and at least $13 for 100.. Luckily I searched long enough where these semi-rigids popped up in my search (thanks Amazon algorithm!) and saw after some awesome discounts were only $11 and change. Thought it was a price mistake, bought some similar ones (BCW I think) in the past for around $10 but that was for 50 of them. You really do get 200 semi-rigid holders for $11! They're the same exact ones that PSA require for grading, no degrade on quality. I do suggest before you put your cards in, to stick a couple fingers in them to stretch them out a bit (kind of like when, youre.. ah, nevermind), otherwise it'll be a tight fit, you'll probably have a hard time getting your cards in. Then you slide them in, but work it slow, don't just jam in there, it'll hurt your cards. Obviously these aren't as thick as top loaders so if you're shipping just one or a couple cards, I'd use those rigid cardboard like, photo mailers for extra protection. This combo works fine for the $1.20 USPS shipping option for trading cards. I've stuck 3 top loaded cards in there many times, so these thinner semi-rigids obviously wouldn't be a problem.

Works as they should. Great for storage

I initially got these because I thought they were the thick plastic sleeves that people put their most valuable cards in. That was my mistake and not the seller/amazon. These things are like very thin plastic sleeves with a strange design. I couldn't find a way to put my cards in these things without damaging the card. Strange right, you buy sleeves to protect cards and instead risk damaging them with this product. I like ultra pro, but they messed up by releasing this product line. ****Update: November 24, 2013 I ended up throwing these things away because of how useless I thought they were. *They weren't sturdy enough for me to keep my valuable cards in. *They weren't rigid enough for me to store hundreds of extra cards (would bend if stacked). *Their size and shape made storage more difficult for me (wouldn't fit in the boxes I had). *Inserting and removing cards was a pain. All in all, they were not what I was looking for and my review was meant to inform the next person that these were not suitable replacements for rigid top loaders. Also, my original comment of, "ultra pro, they messed up by releasing this product line", wasn't a good one because clearly other people buy these and have been buying them for like...... I don't know... and I don't care. But it wasn't a good comment, they have their use, but not one that I thought was appropriate for me. I'm sorry if my comment made someone sad, mad, or confused.

Great sleeves! But be cautious if you are using penny sleeves with this product, they need to be perfect fit sleeves otherwise you have to force the cards in, which is not good. If it wasn't for that and the fact that they scratch so easily i would've rated 5 because they are protecting the cards very well even when flexed!

The Ultra Pro Semi-Rigid 1/2" Lip Sleeves have become my go-to for protecting my valuable trading cards. They offer the perfect balance of sturdiness and flexibility, ensuring my cards are safe whether they're being stored or shipped. The clear PVC material provides excellent visibility, so I can still admire my cards without taking them out of the sleeves. One thing to note is that these sleeves are a bit tighter than I'm used to, which can make it tricky to slide the cards in without worrying about potential damage. However, the added protection and the affordable price make this a sacrifice I'm willing to make. The 1/2" lip is a thoughtful touch that makes handling and inserting cards easier, despite the snug fit. Overall, these sleeves are a fantastic option for anyone looking to protect their collection, especially if you're submitting cards for grading. For the price, they provide great peace of mind and do exactly what they're supposed to do—keep my cards safe and secure. Highly recommend!

Ultra Pro grading sleeves are some of the best
