Default I might not buy anymore BCW brand penny sleeves.

Maybe its just the pack that I bought, but these are hard as hell to slip your cards into. I am very satisfied with BCW and their many cards supplies, it's just their penny sleeves are giving trouble.

You guys have any other brand I should buy and check out?

Ultra Pro is by far the best, but you'll also pay more. I use BCW's and while they're not great (quality control is also an issue)...they're much cheaper than the Ultra Pros (for me this is an issue as I've already gone through 500K+, maybe closer to 800K.

I've been having issues with various BCW stuff too. For example, I've had packs of team set bags where it's impossible to remove the strip w/o also lifting up the line of adhesive itself.

Last time I went to my LCS the owner was telling me that BCW was going to be more expensive than Ultra Pro. Go figure. BCW Toploaders are sized a lot differently than Ultra Pro. You would think that 100 pt UP would be the same as a 100 pt BCW.........its not!!!
