So, in conclusion, all sleeves suck, and are awesome at the same time. Lol. Every brand has people that swear by it, while others have problems with it.
ya, that is our conclusion....
Each sleeve brand has their tradeoffs, while still retaining problems amongst eah other from unevenness to busting depending on how the cards are shuffled....
I am going to a Tourny that the 1st place prize is a Black lotus so i figured i should rock something special in order to strike fear into my opponents.

Hoping these do the trick, has anyone seen these in person or used them???

So, folks, I just heard about KMC "perfect fit" sleeves. What's the deal with them? Do they just slip over your card and then go into another sleeve?

It's like doubling up on underwear on a cold winter morning.

Well, I use them for Vintage. They protect the deck from opponents who try to riffle shuffle your deck. Also, I constantly take cards out of my deck and put them in my binder, the perfect fit sleeves allow them to be pulled out of the binder without getting dirt and your hands on them. Worthwhile IMO for beta power.
I bought a pack of those magic backed UP sleeves, and I'm well impressed. They're by far the best sleeves I've ever had.
They feel a lot like Dragonshields to be honest.
KMC MAT (BLUE OR BLACK, RED SHOWS BACK OF CARDS) + KMC PERFECT FIT
Serious get outta here if you honestly think anything but old school Yano Gunmetal are equal to or better than the KMCs. I have tried everything and nothing even comes close to the KMC. You seriously have to gouge these sleeves to even come close to scratching them.
@ Shtriga Id rather wrap my Magic Cards in sandpaper then use those, they are horrid.
Dragonshield are overpriced Ultra Pros with more colors.
Ultra Pros are Ultra Pros.
If you can pull the sleeve apart rather easily its crap.
Which ones were you refering to again?
There is the original black with the mtg logo and then there are those in the 80 count packets with various backings.
The white ones with the magic-card-back on the...back. Around here there isn't a great deal of variety, I have never seen the black ones with the logo for sale
Word.
I sometimes use those japanese Ultra Pro Sleeves, they are actually like the KMC Super Black/Blue/Green/whatever, with the difference that they are a bit more solid and have a stronger coloring.
But at the moment I am using the Red-Mat KMCs which show the back of the cards, but those sleeves are so far the most solid sleeves I had in my hand. And they don't look fucked up, even after some heavy play.
The mat red back doesn't reveal you scratches or becomes matted like you can see on the mat black and mat blue ones. They also don't curl. Only the tranparent front becomes a littlebit milky.
The only thing that is annoying is when someone shuffles your deck and manages to make some dog-ears on your sleeves. That's annoying, but when shuffling properly, it should not happen as they are solid and don't bend so easily.

Adan for being the NQG God (drawer)
When I got into the realm of BB duals and the like, I realized my cards were getting a bit dirty/worn on the top despite being in a sleeve. So I bought a pack of perfect fits (which have never broken) and decided to protect my investments.
Oh, btw, KMC > Ultra Pro > every other brand > dragon shield.
