I was previously buying my supplies from https://www.columbiasportscard.com but they no longer have Ultra Pro brand. Has anyone used Cardboard Gold before? I know I purchased the team bags and those are fine for their purpose. I'd like to stick with UP for the penny sleeves. I know people have had issues with buying the UP on Ebay and getting a different brand than what was advertised.

Thanks, Eric

i buy from legends-sports-group on ebay for penny sleeves, 4000 ultra pro for $22

Thank you! That's a really good price. Free shipping as well. Sold :)

I have the good fortune of not having to order online, but getting to go to Dave and Adams for supplies.  They carry Ultra Pro.  I do t know what they sell for in the website, but the website pricing is sometimes different than the store.  I think shipping is free only on larger orders.

I don't think there is a hobby store anywhere near me. There used to be so many. The good 'ol days :(

We used to have two lcs in my town. The one I really liked closed which was a bummer. I’d hang out there too long on Saturday mornings shooting the breeze and I could get him to order any supplies I needed if he didn’t have them in stock. The other guy never has any supplies on hand and won’t order them because it costs him too much money. If I’m standing there in your empty shop asking for something it would seem logical that I’m willing to pay that cost plus a reasonable mark up. Instead I buy a pack of cards I have no real interest in and go home to get online and order what I need.

i purchased a case of 10000 on ebay for 45.80 free ship https://www.ebay.com/itm/10000-ULTRA-PRO-SOFT-TRADING-CARD-PENNY-SLEEVES-BASEBALL-MAGIC-POKEMON-81126-100/250885497684?hash=item3a69f0e354:g:75cAAMXQh8NTcU4F

no problem and fast in a ultra pro box even.

Do you sleeve every card you get? I have a pack of 100 penny sleeves I bought a year ago and I still havent gone through it.  

Also, if any of you are willing to try out different sleeves, look into Perfect Fit Sleeves.  They really do fit cards perfectly.  I'm going to use them to sleeve my autographs and relics, as well as the toploaders.  I find that team bags are too bulky for toploaders but the Perfect Fit sleeves fit nice and snugly.  

I do sleeve almost everything. The only exception is if I build a set, or mail commons to someone else who is building a set.

I wish I had seen your post earlier. They have bags that fit top-loaders perfectly. I just purchased 500 regular team bags to put my nice cards in. Ugh! :(
