Ultimate Guard Katana Sleeves (60ct, Japanese Size, Turquoise) – Acid-Free, PVC-Free TCG Protection
The Ultimate Guard Katana Card Sleeves offer a straightforward way to keep your trading cards safe during games and storage. This pack contains 60 sleeves in Japanese size (62 x 89 mm), featuring a turquoise back with a non-reflective matte finish. Designed for competitive play, they are made from acid-free and PVC-free polypropylene to avoid chemical damage over time.
What makes the Katana sleeves different from other card sleeves?
These sleeves are built for longevity. The material resists wear from frequent shuffling and handling, which is a common concern for tournament players. Each sleeve is manufactured in Japan, a detail that often correlates with tight quality control. The high clarity front lets card artwork show through without distortion, while the matte back reduces glare during gameplay.

Answers to common buyer questions about these sleeves
Are these sleeves tournament legal?
Yes, they are designed as tournament sleeves. The matte back and precise sizing meet the requirements of most organized play events, though you should always check your specific tournament's rules.
How many sleeves come in this pack?
Exactly 60 sleeves, which is enough for one standard 60-card deck plus a few extras.
Do they fit cards with standard size inner sleeves?
These are Japanese size sleeves, so they fit standard Japanese-size cards (like those used in Yu-Gi-Oh!, Weiss Schwarz, etc.). They are not designed for standard size (66 x 91 mm) cards. If you use inner sleeves, ensure they are also Japanese size.
How do the Katana sleeves compare to the Cortex line?
Katana sleeves are positioned as the premium line with a focus on consistency and shuffle feel, while Cortex sleeves offer a more budget-friendly option. Both are made by Ultimate Guard and are acid-free.
