Product Information

Full details

These sleeves offer a premium matte finish for superior shuffling and a fully opaque backing to maintain game integrity, though players should note that each pack contains 60 sleeves, which may require multiple packs to sleeve a full deck depending on the game format.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these sleeves PVC-free?

Yes, all Ultimate Guard Cortex sleeves are both acid-free and PVC-free to ensure your cards remain in pristine condition.

Will these fit Standard size cards?

No, these are specifically designed for Japanese-sized cards (62 x 89 mm) and will be too small for standard-sized cards.

How many sleeves come in a pack?

Each pack contains 60 sleeves.

Are the backs transparent?

No, the sleeves feature a fully opaque back to ensure card details are not visible through the sleeve.

Can these be used for tournament play?

Yes, their opaque backing and durable material meet the requirements for most competitive TCG tournament settings.

Troubleshooting

Sleeve feels tight during insertion

Ensure the card is perfectly aligned with the opening; do not force the card, as it may damage the corners.

Static buildup during shuffling

Use a anti-static mat or gently wipe the sleeves with a dryer sheet to neutralize surface charge.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent shuffling feel due to the matte finish
  • High-quality, archival-safe materials prevent card damage
  • Fully opaque backing hides card details effectively
  • Snug fit for Japanese-sized TCG cards

Cons

  • Limited to 60 sleeves per pack, potentially insufficient for larger deck counts
  • Specifically sized for Japanese cards, incompatible with standard-sized cards
  • Matte finish can slightly reduce the vibrancy of foil card finishes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal longevity of your card collection, insert cards slowly into the sleeve to avoid bending corners. These sleeves are sized strictly for Japanese cards measuring 62 x 89 mm; they will not fit standard-sized cards (like Magic: The Gathering). To maintain the protective finish, keep cards stored in a cool, dry environment and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or moisture. If the sleeves become dusty, they can be wiped gently with a soft, microfiber cloth.
