I learned my lesson.
#1

I learned my lesson.
I am getting ready to go through this trunk of vintage cards as I wrote in other threads. My wife stopped by walmart and picked up some sleeves that I needed for my newer cards. 100 sleeves for .99. Well let me just say that these are pure garbage. The sleeves are cutting my card due to poor machine cutting of the sleeves. I snipped the sides with scissors but seems to be the middle of the sleeves more than the edges. Then the sleeves stick together and make it hard to scan cards.

I'm never buying again. Just some advice if you plan on buying from wally world.

My last five bags of team set bags form UltraPro all had terrible issues with the sealing strip. I've switched to BCW, and had no issues.

I'm reorganizing my collection by player into team set bags, and I've gone through a lot of team bags. BCW is the way to go, and they're a bit cheaper too!
