One of the easiest questions to answer about a brand-new trading card game is also one of the most important for collectors.
Does your existing sleeve and binder stock actually fit the new cards, or do you need to buy something new?
For Welcome to Night City, the answer is refreshingly simple.
Here is the confirmed card size, and exactly how to protect a collection from the moment packs are opened.
Cyberpunk TCG cards print at the standard 63mm by 88mm trading card size, the same dimensions used by Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, and most other modern card games on the market.
WeirdCo's own Kickstarter sleeve giveaway reinforces this, since the exclusive sleeves included with Beta pledges were 66x91mm Dragon Shield sleeves, the standard oversized-fit sleeve made specifically for 63x88mm cards.
A brand-new card game occasionally launches at an odd size, forcing collectors to buy game-specific sleeves before they can protect a single pull.
Welcome to Night City skips that problem entirely, which means any standard-size sleeve, toploader, or 9-pocket binder page already sitting in a collector's supply box works without modification.
The safest habit with any new set is sleeving a card the moment it's revealed, before it ever gets handled bare or set down on a table.
A standard matte or clear sleeve is enough for most pulls, and keeping a stack pre-loaded near wherever you open packs removes any excuse to skip the step on a busy prerelease weekend.
For anything landing at Rare or above, where foil treatment kicks in, double-sleeving with a snug inner sleeve underneath a standard outer sleeve adds a second layer of defense against scuffing foil surfaces.
This matters even more for Secret Rare and Iconic Rare pulls, since their heavier foil and alternate art finishes tend to show surface wear more visibly than a plain non-foil Common or Uncommon.
Once a handful of boxes and starter decks turn into a real collection, moving sleeved cards into 9-pocket binder pages keeps everything organized by color or rarity without constant repacking.
Binders also make it easier to track down a specific card later, which matters once a collection spans multiple starter decks and booster boxes worth of pulls.
A card's long-term resting place should usually be a rigid toploader rather than a sleeve alone, especially for Iconic Rares, Secret Rares, and anything destined for grading down the line. A rigid toploader also protects against bent corners during shipping, which matters most if you're buying or trading singles online rather than pulling everything directly from your own packs.
Standard 3x4 toploaders fit Welcome to Night City's 63x88mm cards the same way they fit any other standard-size trading card, so no specialty sizing is needed here either.
Because Cyberpunk TCG uses a personal set of six physical dice instead of a token life counter, a basic dice bag or small zip pouch is worth keeping alongside your sleeves and binder.
It's a small addition most new players overlook, but losing even one die from a six-dice set makes a deck unplayable until it's replaced, unlike a single damaged card you could still play around. A labeled pouch also makes it noticeably easier to tell your own six-dice set apart from a rival's after a long session at a crowded prerelease table.
Because Welcome to Night City never deviates from the 63x88mm standard, there's no reason to reach for an oversized or jumbo-format toploader the way some wider vintage formats require, and buying the wrong size wastes money on a product that will just sit unused.
Sticking with standard 3x4 toploaders and standard sleeves keeps costs down and means the same supply box that already protects a Pokemon or Magic collection protects Night City pulls too. That overlap is a genuine advantage for anyone already collecting other modern card games alongside this one, since there's no separate supply chain to learn, stock, or maintain just for Night City pulls specifically.
Standard 63mm by 88mm, the same as Magic and Pokemon.
No, any standard-size sleeve fits without modification.
Yes, especially Rare and above once foil treatment is involved.
Yes, standard 3x4 toploaders fit the set's 63x88mm cards.
Protecting a collection costs almost nothing compared to replacing a damaged chase pull later. Stock up on EVORETRO standard-size matte sleeves before prerelease weekend so you're never caught sleeving a fresh pull bare-handed.
