1st Image: Those are all the hypermatte sleeves currently on the market. The black ones have KMC perfect fits in it.
2nd Image: Black hypermatte w/ perfect fits (Brainstorm) with Brown mat (Olivia), both from KMC. Notice that they tapered off the allowance by around 1mm for the hypermatte. Perfect fits still fit perfectly (wut).
3rd Image: Fanned out hypermatte sleeves.
Of all the sleeves I have, this comes second to best in quality. Top spot would still go to Ultra Pro's first line of Matte sleeves (circa '09). Unfortunately, the quality of their sleeves went down from there.
Did you try both the black and translucent? I'm actually curious how the translucent feel, and if it is exactly the same feel as the black. It might be kind of neat to have translucent sleeves that are super-high quality with a great feel.
Gotta get my hands on some of these. Really excited to try them out.
I got both. The translucent sleeves are the most premium-looking of its kind out there. Handfeel is the same with that of the black ones (sleek and VERY easy to shuffle even if it's brand new). I'm currently using the translucent for my FNM deck and the black ones for all my Legacy and Modern decks. You have to be careful with the translucent though: bent sleeve corners are more distinguishable because of its opacity.
Brought ALL Hyper Matte Sleeves from someone who imports them here. I must say I'm very pleased with the quality. They don't accumulate dirt unlike KMC's previous matte series and Dragon Shield lineup. Probably the best sleeves to come off the market. Too bad they only come in black and translucent sleeve backings.
Funny how Wizards kept their word--the packs are reusable!
Gisela is original. That's how WoTC prints their cards.

This has got to be the lamest excuse I have ever seen.
