Dragonshields are also randomly too tight, so they don't fit their own inners, often crimping them inside.
Cortex sleeves from UG are pure white, but are like a lesser brand of Katanas. Get sticky even faster, even less sturdy to random scratches and nailmarks from retards.

Ultrapro is not really worth mentioning, the base sleeves are like your general junk sleeves, protect from barely anything, thin, flimsy also the weird logo... lmao.
The eclipse line is like the Ultimate Guard Cortex sleeves, nothing special, and black front, so any small dust is visible.

Konami sleeves often come curled out of the box, which means it also triggers my obsession with cards curling. They are too flimsy to damage the cards, but they are not air tight either so the cards in them, even double sleeved have a greater exposure to the elements.
I would prefer to use them however as their clarity is amazing, their designs are neat, and they fit DragonShield outers better than normal jp size sleeves. However they also have black fronts so they show any and all lint, dust dirt etc.

Dragonshield whites would be great, but even on pic, you might see (or not), black parts, darker parts, protruding edges etc.
The black parts aren't just the sleeves being separated from one another, some are split holes, some have the clear plastic part lifted on the edge notably.
There is a straight black discoloration on the side down on 2, like someone touched them with coal or something.
Other colors also have the cut issues.

KMC are ultrapro-like in quality, but their availability is poor, in the EU you only get the old manufacturer ones, the US brand doesn't exist here so I had no way to try that. The ones I got my hands on were all shit.
Ultimate Guard makes matte outers that you cant see through at all and shit jp size ones that are flimsy as Ultrapro.

Overall, I'd heavily prefer dragonshield whites with inner sleeves, but their quality control makes it impossible to use any.
