There is another type of sleeve for judge 2015
Any information about it?
Sorry for being unfamiliar with english
This is the only official Asia Judge 2015 sleeve. The others are counterfeits.
Thank you for your reply
I think there are two types of judge sleeves for 2015: Dark Low and the Yu-Gi-Oh logo.
Is the 2015 Yu-Gi-Oh Judge logo sleeve a fake?
Yes, the 2015 Asia Judge logo sleeves and the Dark Law sleeves in black backing are two known counterfeits. Official Asia Judge 2015 Dark Law sleeves are in white backing.
