6/25/25 : Not Sure What TCG Accessories You Actually Need?
🧠 Not Sure What TCG Accessories You Actually Need?
Whether you're diving into Pokémon battles or prepping your Magic deck for Friday Night Magic, here's a quick breakdown of the must-have accessories every card player should consider — and why they matter.
🛡️ Sleeves: Protection First
Your cards aren’t just paper — they’re collectibles. A good set of sleeves keeps your foils safe from scratches, bends, and oily hands.
Look for:
-
Standard size (66x91mm) for most Pokémon/MTG cards
-
Matte backs for reduced glare during play
-
Double-sleeving if you’re using high-value cards
Pro Tip: You don’t need “official” Pokémon sleeves to play — just make sure both players use opaque, uniform ones.
🎒 Deck Boxes: Keep It Together
Plastic or leather, magnetic or latch-lock — a quality deck box stops your main deck from bouncing around in your backpack.
We recommend:
-
80+ card capacity (to hold sleeved decks comfortably)
-
Side-loading options for convenience
-
Magnetic closures for easy access during events
📔 Binders & Pages: For Traders and Collectors
Organize by set, type, rarity, or flex level — your binder says a lot about you.
Look for:
-
9-pocket pages (side-load preferred)
-
Acid-free, PVC-free sleeves
-
Zippered binders for travel
Bonus: Binders make trading safer and way more organized than flipping through a shoe box.
🧼 Playmats: Underrated MVP
If you play in shops or events, a soft rubber playmat protects your cards from gross tables and keeps your setup clean.
