Card Sleeving?

What sleeves do you use for your cards?  I guess I'm looking for sleeves that are

a) not too expensive (having to sleeve ~3500 cards can get rather prohibitive if 100 sleeves costs $20)
b) not too thick - I'd like to still keep everything in the original boxes
c) not too crappy - they should actually fit the cards and do the job they're supposed to do.

I don't really care about durability - I don't play IRL *that* often anyway.  I would prefer US distribution - Amazon availability would be best.

I have the mayday translucent sleeves.  They have worked well for me and fit fine in my box.  I've had to replace a couple, but it's to be expected.  If you use the promo code Dominion I am pretty sure you can still get a discount.

I've been looking at getting these:

But even with the "B" series at $15 for 500, I would need to spend $90-100 for sleeves.

I use the Mayday premium ones.  I haven't had them long, but they seem fine, other than a small percentage being too tight to use.

I don't think they fit your other criteria.  They are thick and won't fit in the original slots. They are a bit pricey at ~$2.50/100.  I think their cheaper sleeves do fit in the original slots, and are about half the price, but have also seen negative comments recently about Mayday, so I don't know about those.

Another option is to buy premium sleeves and only sleeve cards as they are bought.

Edit: or gained, or any other way they get added to a deck.

If you only want sleeves for storage and not playing, another option is those bags I had at the meetup.  They are walmart jewelry bags, sold in the arts and crafts section.  Even if you already have sleeves, they are actually really nice for non digital randomization and travel, since they keep the cards packed together.

I use ones like those for Mythos, the deckbuilder I'm creating myself.  They're definitely great for just picking 10 random cards.  I'm looking for playing sleeves for my Dominioncardz.

I use the regular Mayday Euro sleeves, and have only had to replace one sleeve at all so far (on a Silver). We play maybe two or three games a day, and have had the cards sleeved for about two months or so. Some people claim that even sleeved they fit in the original box (except you might need to shift a few Coppers), but I thought it was a bit too snug to do that, honestly. We ended up switching to the Broken Token box like the one AdamH has recently been showing off.

Bought them from FRP Games ($1.80/100) with a bunch of other sleeves of various sizes to do most of my card-driven games at the same time. Shipping was $9.95 flat in the U.S.; I find that Mayday's shipping tends to be outrageously high, even if you get a good discount with an active coupon code. Amazon's price for the same is exorbitant.
