FAQs
What is the exact size of these sleeves?
The sleeve size is 81 x 122 mm. They are designed for card sizes up to 79 x 120 mm.
Are these sleeves suitable for American-sized cards?
No, these are 'Standard European-Sized' sleeves (62 x 94 mm card size). For American-sized cards, you would need sleeves specifically labeled as 'American Standard' or 'Standard American'.
How many sleeves are in a pack?
Each pack contains 50 sleeves.
Will these sleeves protect against liquid damage?
These sleeves offer protection against scratches, dirt, and minor wear from shuffling. They are not waterproof and will not protect against significant liquid spills.
Can I use these sleeves with game inserts?
Due to the reinforced thickness (100 micrometers), sleeved decks may take up more space. You might need to remove or modify game inserts to accommodate them.
Are the sleeves archival quality?
Yes, they are made from acid-free and PVC-free polypropylene, which is considered safe for long-term card preservation.
How do the color codes work?
These sleeves follow the established color coding system from Fantasy Flight Games™. Each color typically corresponds to a specific card size, making it easier to identify and organize different types of sleeved cards in your collection.
Troubleshooting
Sleeves feel too tight for cards
Ensure the card size does not exceed the recommended dimensions (up to 79 x 120 mm) and that you are using the correct sleeve size (Standard European - 62 x 94 mm). Gently center the card and slide it in without forcing.
Difficulty shuffling sleeved cards
The matte finish is designed for a good shuffle feel. If cards still feel sticky, try shuffling them more frequently to break them in, or ensure your hands are clean and dry during play.
Matte finish shows fingerprints easily
The matte surface can show fingerprints. Keep hands clean and dry during gameplay. Fingerprints can typically be wiped away gently with a dry microfiber cloth.
Sleeves arrived with minor scuffs or imperfections
While rare, minor cosmetic imperfections can occur during manufacturing or shipping. If the integrity of the sleeve is compromised (e.g., a tear), contact the retailer for a replacement. Minor scuffs usually do not affect gameplay.
