KMC Sleeves
Gear forum
Posted on Oct. 28, 2014, 7:30 p.m. by capriom85
I am buying new sleeves for my Modern decks and I want ones that will last a while. I am sold on KMC so please don't deviate from that. I only have experience playing and shuffling with the MATTE sleeves, though, and was wondering how the Super sleeves are. I wanted to get silver ones but they only come in Super. Are they still good or should I absolutely stick with MATTE?
My friend has the super whatever and he hates them. Almost 6 have split by now and they stick and suck when being shuffled. The mattes from kmc though are incredible totally recommend them.

Are those more expensive than dragonshields? I have dragonshields and they're okay but not amazing

Double-sleeve with KMC Perfect Fit for the Inner and KMC Hyper Mat for the outer. Wombo combo for protection.

Yeah, hypermatts all the way. I remember first getting KMCs matts and loving them. Then Hyper Matts happened.
I order mine from Potomac Distribution. They are the best place to get sleeves in bulk in the US.

Here, sleeves be about $17+ per pack ... (perfect fits too), so like smash10101, I get mine off Potomac, I live outside the US, and i still think they're the best place to bulk.
KMC Super Series are pretty nice I'd say, they feel glossy, but need some 'breaking in' after opening. Glossy as in a bit more glossy than dragon shield, which is good if you like that feel, I guess.
KMC Mattes are very nice when opened, the texture is awesome, therefore, shuffling and play with Mattes feel amazing. However, they have a habit of picking up dirt and stuff fairly fast (in the form of little black spots, easily scratched off though). Top of the sleeves get wavy real easily, which is sorta annoying.
KMC Hyper Mattes have the texture of most Ultra Pro sleeves, freshly opened. Unlike Ultra Pro, the matte-texture doesn't get worn away as easily. In their own way, they simply feel really good in your hands, and work well with double sleeves.

Wait, hold the train, edit: delete delete! EmblemMan, I stand corrected. I get Mattes for $6.99, not Hyper Matte.
I will have to try these out. Has anyone tested the Ultra Pro Slayers yet?

capriom85 I'd recommend you check out TolarianCommunityCollege's reviews, his latest card sleeve review is on Ultra pro Slayers I believe.
This should be it.

The supers scuff easily, at least the black ones do. They also stick together easily. It's almost like playing with dragonshields. I would wholeheartedly recommend the the hypermats, if it is an option. Dunno about the colors they are in
