Best sleeves for foil cards?

Foil is shiny! Plastic sleeves are shiny, too, though.

Are there, like...matte sleeves, or something? What lets the foil cards look their best?

I'm curious too! My Pro-Fit sleeves were too tight and were bowing the cards slightly. (Plus, they're also shiny.) I put them in penny sleeves for now.

Me three. The foil sets are the only things I plan to sleeve.

Numbers would be nice, too, since I don't generally sleeve things anyway.

I asked at my local comic/game store, and they suggested that the regular penny sleeves would probably be all right since character cards aren't shuffled. We got a pack since we only need 110; if we don't like them we can look for something different.

Ultra Pro penny sleeves do work. What I did was I got the KMC oerfect size sleeves and their hyper mat sleeves and I double sleeved them. I'm keeping them all in a small card binder, because I want them to stay pristine for as long as I possibly can
