card sleeve

Card sleeves (Japanese: カードプロテクター kādo purotekutā "card protector"; also known as Duelist Card Protectors) are protective plastic covers used to prevent cards from getting bent or scratched.[1] Most card sleeves are made by third-party manufacturers, though Konami distributes a few styles of their own sleeves.[2][3][4][5]

If a player uses card sleeves, they must all be the same so their cards aren't marked.[1] A player may opt to use sleeves for their Extra Deck that are different to the ones of the Main Deck. In the case of the Side Deck, the sleeves must have the same backing as the ones in the Main Deck.

In the OCG, it is possible for a player's Deck to contain cards with different backings. In cases like this, it is mandatory for the player to use sleeves to prevent their cards from being marked.[6]

In video games, card sleeves serve no practical purpose and only serve as customizable features.
