Cards from Japan

What size sleeves fit Yu-Gi-Oh! cards?

Published September 24, 2026 · By the Cards from Japan editors

Summary

KONAMI's official Japanese sleeves, sold as Duelist Card Protectors, fit cards up to 59 mm by 86 mm and come 70 to a pack. That figure is the sleeve's limit, and no official page we found gives the dimensions of the card itself. The official English sleeves come 50 to a pack and list no size at all.

Official sleeves in Japan

Duelist Card Protectors come in many designs and finishes, and every version we checked carries the same note: fits cards up to 59 mm by 86 mm, usable for both the OCG and Rush Duel. The matte black version released June 8, 2024 costs ¥660 including tax. The gold and silver hologram versions released September 19, 2026 cost ¥770 and have a black inner side.

KONAMI also released a Large Clear protector that day, 70 for ¥770. It is a clear outer sleeve made to cover cards already sleeved in regular Duelist Card Protectors, with a finish that cuts down on glare. Its listing gives no measurements.

Official sleeves for the English TCG

The English site's Accessories section lists card sleeves in different package designs. THE CHRONICLES: The Fallen & The Virtuous Card Sleeves launched on October 24, 2025, at an MSRP of $4.99 for a pack of 50, and the product page says they are made to meet Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG tournament standards.
