    Today I received some Pokemon card sleeves, the Ultimate Guard Supreme Matte Light Blue Sleeves (standard size) that I had ordered from Amazon. When I received them, many were damaged and others were not the same length as other sleeves. I am going to return the sleeves, but I am now unsure of which sleeves I should buy since it seems that reviews have mislead me with buying those sleeves. I have looked at reviews on many different brands, but it seems that people have different opinions about each brand. Some people say a brand is good at 'this', while others say it is bad at the same thing. Is there some good advice I could get? Here are the main brands I have seen:
    • Official Pokemon Sleeves
    • Ultra Pro
    • Dragon Shield
    • KMC
    • Ultimate Guard
    • BCW

    I have also realized that many brands have different types of their sleeves (metallic, matte, glossy, etc). Is there any advice on which brands are the best for me? (Durability of the sleeves and having blue opaque backed card sleeves are my main priorities here) I need at least 60 card sleeves and for them to be standard sized.
     
    Go with UltraPro. Works like a charm protecting Yu-Gi-Oh! cards and MTG ones.
     
    If you have the non-matte sleeves, I've heard that they tend to stick together. Is this true, and is it a big problem? I find that I love the color of their turquoise sleeves, but they do not carry these in non-matte.

    Glossy sleeves have that problem in general, though it's mostly because of sweaty hands or static electricity.
