Anyone use these before? The penny sleeves with a corner cut out for easy card insertion.

Wanting to know if they are worth buying over the regular sleeves.

I haven't seen them, but why not cut the corner off yourself?

This is exactly what I do if I have a card I want to take special care to keep the corners on. I just take my knife and run a slit right down one side of the sleeve.

I have seen them in some stuff I picked up, they are OK. Cards do go in easier, but then a part of the top surface isn't in the sleeve, so I kind of don't see the purpose.

I just cut a corner of a regular sleeve with scissors whenever I need to. When I want to ensure I don't damage a corner when putting a card into a sleeve (which happens a lot actually) or if I have a thicker stock card (GU etc.) it makes it much easier, and the card is still 100% covered. No need to buy sleeves that are altered already since I'm sure they are more expensive.

Thanks y'all!

My main concern was part of the card still being exposed. I just found out about these and it seemed like a good idea but wanted to hear from those who have used or seen them.
