FAQs
Are these sleeves truly PVC-free?
Yes, the KONIX Matte Card Sleeves are explicitly stated to be PVC-free and acid-free to protect your cards from damage and yellowing over time.
What does 'anti-glare' mean for gameplay?
The anti-glare finish minimizes distracting reflections on the sleeve surface, allowing you to see your cards clearly during play, even under bright lights.
Can I use these for all my trading cards?
These sleeves are a universal size of 66 x 91 mm, which fits most standard trading card games. However, it's always best to confirm the dimensions of your specific cards and game.
How many cards can I protect with one pack?
Each pack contains 100 sleeves, which is sufficient to protect a standard deck for most trading card games, or a portion of a larger collection.
Will the matte black back affect my card's appearance?
The matte black back is designed to meet competitive standards and offers a professional look. While it's opaque, it does not affect the visibility of the card's front face due to the anti-glare plastic.
Are these sleeves suitable for storing cards long-term?
Absolutely. The acid-free and PVC-free composition is specifically intended to prevent degradation and preserve the condition of your cards during long-term storage.
How do I clean these card sleeves?
To clean the sleeves, use a dry, soft cloth to gently wipe away dust or smudges. Avoid using any liquid cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Sleeves feel sticky or difficult to shuffle.
Ensure your hands are clean and dry before handling the sleeves. The matte finish can sometimes feel slightly different from glossy sleeves, but should not be sticky. If stickiness persists, the sleeves may have been exposed to moisture or contaminants; try a different sleeve.
Card does not fit properly or is too tight/loose.
Verify that the card is a standard 66 x 91 mm size. If the card is slightly different, you may need to seek out sleeves specifically designed for that size. Ensure you are inserting the card straight into the sleeve.
Sleeves have minor imperfections or manufacturing defects.
While uncommon, some sleeves may have slight manufacturing flaws. If you encounter significant defects on multiple sleeves, contact the retailer or manufacturer for assistance.
Matte finish appears dull or scratched.
The matte finish is designed to reduce glare, which can sometimes make colors appear slightly less vibrant than on glossy sleeves. Minor scratches can occur with heavy use; try to handle decks carefully and avoid storing them in tight spaces where they might rub against other objects.
