Each pack contains 100 sleeves measuring 66 by 91 millimeters, made from polypropylene that is acid-free and PVC-free. They are designed to protect cards during play and storage while offering a smooth shuffle feel and high opacity to hide card backs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWill these sleeves fit Magic: The Gathering or Pokémon cards?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, they are standard-size sleeves, which fit Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, and other TCGs that use the same card dimensions (66 x 91 mm). For smaller cards like Yu-Gi-Oh, you would need the Japanese-size version of these Cortex sleeves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow clear is the glossy finish?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe glossy front side is transparent and high-clarity, letting card artwork show through with vibrant colors. It does reflect light in bright conditions, which is typical for glossy sleeves. If you prefer no reflections, a matte-finish version of the Cortex sleeves is also available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAre these sleeves durable for regular play?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimate Guard designed the Cortex line for daily use. The polypropylene material resists tearing and wear, and the sleeves are built to maintain their shape after many rounds of shuffling. They are an affordable alternative to the premium Katana sleeves while still providing reliable protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolypropylene (PP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66 x 91 mm (standard)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor (back)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePurple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish (front)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlossy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 sleeves per pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.1 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcid-free \u0026amp; PVC-free\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUltimate Guard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCan you use these with inner sleeves?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, these Cortex sleeves work well as outer sleeves for double-sleeving. Ultimate Guard recommends pairing them with their own inner sleeves, such as the Katana inner sleeves, for extra protection.

Cortex sleeves are more budget-friendly while still offering good durability and shuffle feel.
