Sleeve types
- Standard sleeves: the everyday choice for playing, available in colours
- Inner or perfect fit sleeves: a tight fit that goes under a standard sleeve, for double sleeving
- Penny sleeves: thin clear sleeves for storage and for putting cards into toploaders
Do I need to double sleeve?
For decks you play often, double sleeving gives extra protection against dust, spills and shuffle wear. For casual play, single standard sleeves are fine.
Small size sleeves will not fit
Small or Japanese size sleeves are made for smaller card games and are too small for Pokémon cards.
