Notes
Yu-Gi-Oh! is the odd one out among big TCGs: its cards are 59x86mm, noticeably smaller than the 63x88mm Magic/Pokemon standard. Buy dedicated 'Japanese size' sleeves (about 62x89mm outer) for a proper snug fit — standard poker-size sleeves technically hold the cards but leave them swimming. A legal Main Deck is 40-60 cards plus up to 15 each in the Extra and Side Decks; collection size varies.
