Which sleeve fits?

Pokémon, MTG and Riftbound all use standard-size cards, so the same sleeves work across all three.

Penny sleeves, explained

Penny sleeves aren’t for playing

They’re thin and loose by design: a dust jacket for a card going into a toploader or a binder. Shuffle with them and they split. For a deck, use proper deck sleeves.

Sleeve it before it goes in

Always penny sleeve a card before it goes in a toploader or a binder pocket. It stops the edges scuffing as the card slides in and out.

Questions

Good to know

Are all penny sleeves and toploaders the same?

Close, but not quite. Penny sleeves vary in clarity and how snugly they fit. Toploaders come in thicknesses: 35pt holds a standard card in a penny sleeve, and thick or relic cards need 55pt or more.

Penny sleeve and toploader, or a toploader binder?

For a single card you’re posting or putting away, it’s a penny sleeve first, then a toploader. For a set of good cards you want to look at, a toploader binder holds them rigid without a pile of toploaders in a box.

What size sleeves fit Pokémon, MTG and Riftbound?

All three use standard-size cards (63 × 88 mm), so standard sleeves fit every one of them. Yu-Gi-Oh! and other Japanese-size cards need small sleeves, which are too tight for standard cards.
