So it looks like SeymorOnion is not selling his HuCard sleeves anymore. Has anyone found anywhere else selling replacement sleeves (his or others)? Looks like the vendors that were selling them for him have ran out too.

I know he used to post here but it looks like he hasn't been active in a long time.
If he's out of the market, might be a opportunity for someone else to jump in *cough*Shadowfox*cough*

You could always ping him on here and try that way to see if he still has somewhat of a stockpile

Yeah, I'll try shooting him a PM. Just figured I'd see if anyone had found an alternative.

Aren’t they just generic card sleeves?
edit: a super quick search and I found these. I’m sure a few more minutes spent couple find them for even less.

Double edit:
$.99 for 10 on eBay.

I somehow didn't realize this was a thing lol. These will probably work. They look pretty similar but his did open up from the side instead of the top but that shouldn't be a big deal. Thanks!

Sure thing. Just so you know, you can get em ineither side or top opening versions ;)

I couldn't really find a side opening one I liked but I did order some off Amazon (prime shipping) so when I get them in I'll post some pictures.

the office depot link was side-load ;)

So I ended up going with these on Amazon:
Jeffirm 48 Pcs Soft Transparent Frosted Plastic Card Holder Protect Clear Sleeves
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0796LX781/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They were cheap and had prime shipping so that was the biggest factor in my decision. I would have preferred to get side loading ones like the one's Wiggy linked but I couldn't find any at as good of a deal price wise as the top loading ones were.
Here are some pics of one along with an original sleeve on the right

They are a little snug for the HuCard at first but once they stretch out a bit they seem to be fine. It is a little harder to get the card out with it being top loading but again, not a big deal. I would recommend putting the "grip" end at the opening to make it easier to remove. For the price and convenience of these being in the US (as compared to most being out of China) I would recommend these. If I had to order more, I would probably look for a side loading one again but with 48 of these in this pack at $7 I can't really complain.
TL;DR: these are a good replacement sleeve.
