For the first time in many years I found the need to purchase penny sleeves. I bought a boatload of Ultra Pro sleeves, assuming they were the best quality.
I've found penny sleeves to came in two types:
One very soft, clear and NONE SLIPPERY, the other type is kind of tin foily in texture, not as clear (much heavier horizontal lines from the manufacturing process) and VERY SLIPPERY-- handle a stack of cards with this type of penny sleeves and the middle section is likely to come flying out.

I greatly prefer the former of the two types described above. As it turns out, to my dismay, the Ultra Pros I purchased are of the latter variety.

Now the questions:
1) Is there more than one type (quality) of Ultra Pro penny sleeve? I've run across two different covers, but the descriptions are identical.

2) Are the softer, less slippery type I strongly prefer made by BCW? If so, I'm more than a bit surprised, as it seems Ultra Pro has the reputation for being the top brand. And I do find Ultra Pro's 9 page top loaders far superior to BCW's.

3) What about the less prominent Cardboard Gold Brand?

Before I press the "add to my cart" button again, how about some brand previews, stated preferences, ect.
