Concerning Card Sleeves

I'm getting kind of annoyed with the sleeves of two of my decks.
I have to decks that are using Ultra Pro sleeves. One is using the DJ-PON3 sleeves, and the other is using the Pro Mattes. My problem with them is that the top of the cards stick out of the top, due to the size of Redemption cards as compared to M:TG cards. Other than Dragon Shields (which I know work well with the cards, but they're kind of pricey), can anyone recommend any good sleeves that Redemption cards would fit in?

Redemption cards have always fit in standard (MTG) sized sleeves for me. Are you sure you do not have the 'small' sized sleeves that are made for Yugioh sized cards? Ultra Pro puts out both sizes for every color.

I'm positive they're standard sized. I got the pro-mattes in packs of 50 and the DJ-PON3 sleeves are only available in standard size.

Just buy Dragon Shield you get a 100 for $10 and they last for eons. I'm still using the same 100 silver protectors I got over 10 years ago.

Fantasy Flight, the same company that makes Dragon Shield, also makes  really cool sleeves for other card games, like Star Wars, Warhammer/WH40k, and Game of Thrones (only house sigils, not scenes ;)).  They have some awesome backings, and are sized to fit MTG cards, but you never have cards sticking out the top.  In fact, I have all of my cards double sleeved, first inside a penny sleeve upside down and then put in one of these.  They fit perfectly, are absolutely protected, and the backs (as long as you don't get them dirty) are just the right amount of slippery, so they don't stick.  Highly recommend them myself.

In my opinion, legion sleeves are the best, but I don't know if they are tournament legal.

I can second Redoubter's post. I got some of the LotR TCG sleeves because they look awesome and I've been using them with one of my Redemption decks. They are very nice!

In Redemption all sleeves are legal.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I may have to settle for the FFG sleeves. I had a deck that used the "I Have You Now" sleeves from Star Wars.  I really like the way they feel and they shuffle well. :)
