I’m trying to order a shit ton of A’class sleeves (20-30 100 ct packs); a few local stores in the area are interested in stocking them as well. So far I’ve only been able to find clear colored sleeves in the US, which although amazing, are worthless in constructed tournaments. Overtheedgegames has solid colored sleeves (Sea Green and Burgandy) advertised on their site but they aren’t able to get them from Japan for some reason. After searching on google and amazon Japan, A’class does make solid colored sleeves in Gray/Black and Navy in addition to Sea Green and Burgandy but none of the stores ship to the US.

Can someone who is proficient in Japanese or has connections with stores in Japan do a more rigorous search and either 1) point me to an internet store that sells them and can ship them to the US 2) have either a friend/relative who lives in Japan pick them and send them to me?

In the meantime I’ve been using Ultra Pro Raven Black sleeves and they’ve exceeded my expectations. Has anyone used the newer version (the UP dot in the bottom left instead of the middle)? How does it compare with the other?

Thanks.

Are you positive Amazon Japan won't ship to you? I've used Amazon Japan in the past (for books) and had zero problems. I know there are certain things they will not ship to the US, like X360 Controllers.

Yes, for some reason it says "does not ship to the US" so it may be seller dependent.

I did a search on Amazon Japan for A'Class Sleeves, but couldn't find it. Got a link?
