Received my amazon sleeves today.  The clarity on the plastic is a bit worse and the pocket is a bit too wide, like expected.  I'm thinking they might get returned and I'll try to go the skinny penny sleeve route with standard ultra pro pages.  The penny sleeves have a wrinkle in them still because of the ultra pro pages not because of the amazon ones, so those will probably need to be replaced also.  You can see how off-set the cards are compared to one another, that's how much space they have to move around.  The 2-7/8ths space in there is just a bit too much.  
Does anyone have the 64mm X 89mm card sleeves they can try on a ultrapro page ?


 

This is exactly why I do the very same. I tend to rearrange my cards frequently or, depending on the binder, am adding more cards to it and need to swap a few things around. Having the sleeve on it just allows me to do that with less concern for anything getting on the card or dinging the corners when taking them in or out of the page.

I ended up coming up with a solution for this problem for anyone else still curious..  I kept the ultra pro platinum pages but I had to find sleeves that fit nicely in the pages.. the ones that are too wide cause the wrinkling.  Here's a few different options but my favorite are the 'mayday games almost a penny' sleeve.  They fit like a inner sleeve would fit on a card game card, but it's made for standard size trading cards.  The ultra pro premium is ok too if you don't mind the height overhang.

When I got my nephew's collection it had 3 big boxes of supplies.  top loader,  9 pockets, sleeves, and plastic boxes.   All different kinds and no way of knowing which was which on most of them.  Still having problem some of them will not work on some cards.

For my PC, I  rearrange my cards a lot. moving this card and that card to a different spot.   It is the way my collection and storing them is set up.    More them once I have pulled a card (in a sleeve) and moved it (even same pocket) and it would not fix with the sleeve on.   On some of the pockets the top row I use the bigger sleeves so the cards are tighter in the pocket.  So they will not slide out as I put them on their sides and do not stand them up right.

I like to put the sleeve on upside down for cards going into pages, because if you leave the open end on the top of the sleeve and the page both facing up they will collect dust easily and I've seen collections where the top of the card is a dirty color compared to the bottom and sides.  Putting the sleeve on upside down prevents all the dust from entering the sleeve/page. 
  
 

I do when the card is valubale. Don't have a whole lot of worthwhile cards these days to bother. Nice Spiderman cards. I used to collect the Marvel cards from the earily 90's. 

I do this as well but I do it with my nice, (double sided, HoFer auto, etc.) MEM cards. It bothers me when the card sleeve wrinkles.

You and I both, can't stand when they wrinkle either. One of the reasons I don't do it very often if at all. I wonder if they make pages with the intent of knowing your going to put sleeved cards in them?

This is what I started doing when I found a bunch of cards ruined after a couple years in a storage unit. Moisture and dust, especially on the top row of the page.
