I've got hundreds of gently used penny sleeves and top loaders. I'll gladly send some to anyone who needs them for the cost of shipping, which may not be very cheap. Also be aware that Canada Post delivery is brutal these days. I've been waiting 4-6 weeks for some packages to arrive. PM me if interested.

Hockey set collector including inserts, ERR, COR, VAR. Knowledgeable about 1968-69 to 1994-95 hockey.

All 1990 and newer cards for trade are NRMT. Expect the same in return. 1989 and older are assigned a grade. Everything on my trade list is available for sale. Reasonable prices based on condition. If it's not on my tradelist, it's not available.

I don't generally use them...only cards I expect to get sticky, or food issues with grease stains. I probably have thousands that I've gotten cards in over the years, but I care so little for them that I have no idea where they are.

They attract dust like magnets so a lot of them are probably not usable anymore anyway.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

So I put an offer out to the OP, but not reply so I'll put it out to everyone. A few month ago I accidently purchased (10) 100-ct packages when I thought I was ordering card dividers. "This is what happpens when you don't pay attention children." (mom's voice in my head). Anyhow, I don't need them. I have plenty that have come my way through purchases and trades; more than I'll ever use. If somebody wants the new one just shoot me a PM. First PM gets them...

I just bought 1,000 penny sleeves and 100 team and graded sleeves at my LCS no problem here. I realized when I was home last all I had was game used sleeves left and I needed to stock up. I do reuse the sleeves I get from trades as well

1000 sleeves usually lasts me a year unless I get a rush on trades like I did this past year. On this site I must have traded 5,000 cards and gave away another 1,000 or so
