Quick answer
Choose Purple Size Phantom Sleeves for European-sized cards and Blue Size Phantom Sleeves for standard-sized cards. Your decision depends entirely on your card dimensions.
Why size matters for card protection
Using the wrong sleeve size can leave cards loose or make shuffling difficult. Phantom Sleeves are designed for specific card sizes, so matching the sleeve to your deck is essential for a snug fit and easy handling.
Finish options add personal preference
Both Purple Size and Blue Size Phantom Sleeves come in multiple finish options. Purple Size offers Gloss/Gloss, Gloss/Matte, and Matte/Matte, while Blue Size is available in Gloss/Gloss. The finish affects shuffle feel and table glare, but does not change the fit.
