Myler sleeves for slabbed books, any good product out there anymore? 0

[atomised]

So I had to replace a few sleeves on my books and ordered this product and it wasn't what I was looking for.  Anyone know where to get those old school sleeves that used to be on slabbed books?  Those really thick plastic ones.   The product I ordered looks like it will suffer from the same issues the non-old school sleeves have, tearing, ripping etc.   I need that rugged thick plastic that will survive a nuclear winter.  Are those no longer available? 

 

Thanks

And these are thinner but are sealable. They never ripped on my stuff.

Yep 914M2's, accept no substitutes

I don't like the mylars because they leave large dogears at the corners.  BCWs are too loose, so you don't get a wrinkle free fit.  These are perfect:

I put most of my books in these at this point.  I figure why not use the ones with the best protection, assuming all this is true. Especially the creep resistance part.

There are a lot of creeps in my neighborhood. 

Advantages of Mylar® Type D Compared to Commonly Used Plastics:
Resistance to diffusion of gases like oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Sulfur Dioxide, etc. is 350 times greater than polyethylene.

Permanence. There is no noticeable change in storage-100 years when compared to 2 to 5 years for others.

Resistance to moisture, insect attack, fungus, mold, mildew, acid, oils, grease, and solvents is "excellent" compared to "fair" for others.

Strength and creep resistance is 10 times that of polyethylene, one-third the strength of steel.

Volatile Additions--Mylar® contains no dangerous plasticizers, slip additives, surface coatings, antioxidants, acid-hydrolysis compared to other commonly used plastics.

I use their PSA and other trading card slab sleeves. They perfectly fit like a glove, which can be excellent or not great as one must be careful when inserting and removing

I'm not sure about thick plastic ones, but I use the 914M2's for my slabs, too.  Not a sexy fit because of the corners poking out, but that doesn't bother me.  The clarity and and coverage is perfect for slabs.
