Ultra PRO Great Wave Sleeves – premium card-protection meets fine art

If you’re serious about your trading card game cards—from competitive decks to treasured collections—then the Ultra PRO Great Wave sleeves are a must-have. Featuring the iconic artwork The Great Wave Off Kanagawa by Hokusai, these sleeves combine museum-worthy visuals with tournament-ready protection. The Apex line from Ultra PRO brings you a 105-count pack of deck protector sleeves, sized for standard 2.5″ × 3.5″ cards, with archival-safe polypropylene film and a new easy-shuffle formulation.


The Great Wave off Kanagawa sleeves – artful and functional

With the Great Wave off Kanagawa sleeves, your deck instantly transforms from simply “a pile of cards” to a showcase of both style and substance. The full-color print of Hokusai’s masterpiece spans each sleeve’s back, while the front remains gloss-clear so your foils shine through. Retail listings note:

“105ct APEX Deck Protector™ Sleeves … new easy-shuffle formulation … vibrant artwork on a textured back. Archival-safe polypropylene materials ensure you can sleeve your cards with confidence.”

This isn’t just about visuals—it’s about performance. The texture on the back improves grip during shuffling, the double-layer film enhances durability, and the archival-safe materials protect your cards for future matches.


Ultra PRO Apex sleeves – tournament-ready, collector-friendly

The Ultra PRO Apex sleeves line represents a high standard: ultra-clear gloss fronts, vivid back prints, archival materials, and tournament-legal sizing. When you sleeve your deck with these, you’re getting sleeves designed for both play and display. According to product listings:

“Sized for standard size trading cards measuring 2.5 in. x 3.5 in.”
“Features classic artwork ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa’ by Hokusai … gloss clear front allows your foil cards to shine!”

Whether you’re playing MTG, Pokémon, Universal Fighting System, or any standard-size TCG, these sleeves will fit. You’ll protect your cards, preserve value, and present your deck with style.


Why choose these sleeves?

Premium artwork & aesthetic upgrade

Hokusai’s The Great Wave Off Kanagawa is one of the most recognizable icons in art history—now rendered atop your card sleeves. It not only looks impressive at your next round but also turns your deck into a conversation piece.

Protection you can trust

These sleeves use high-quality polypropylene film that’s archival-safe (no PVC, no acid). That means the printed back, your cards, and foil surfaces are safeguarded from long-term damage. The gloss front ensures clarity and brilliance for your foils, letting them shine the way they should.

Performance for serious play

Attributes such as textured backs and easy-shuffle formulation make these sleeves ideal for active use. Whether you’re drafting, shuffling for Commander, or concealing your deck in Standard, the functional design supports performance. Product description highlights:

“New sleeve formulation offers top-notch shuffle experience … made to perform and last.”

Versatility across formats

Since they fit standard-size cards (2.5″ × 3.5″), these sleeves aren’t just for Magic. You can trust them with Pokémon, Lorcana, many board-game card decks, and other TCGs with the same size. This ensures they’re a long-term buy—not tied to one format alone.

Collector appeal

Limited print runs, fine-art designs, and strong brand recognition mean these sleeves can become collectible themselves. Many players who buy these are investing in both utility and future value.

How to use Ultra PRO Great Wave sleeves in your setup

  1. Select the right deck – Whether you’re building a tournament-ready deck or displaying a collector deck, these sleeves fit standard cards double-sleeved (depending on thickness) and ensure your foils look their best.

  2. Sleeve your cards before sleeving sleeves – Use premium inner sleeves if you double-sleeve, then the Ultra PRO sleeves as outer. This gives maximum protection.

  3. Shuffle smart – With the textured back, you’ll enjoy smoother shuffles, better grip, and fewer mis-shuffles during drafts or Commander games.

  4. Deck storage & display – When not in use, your deck stands out visually thanks to the print. When it’s time to play, the gloss front ensures no distraction from clarity or readability.

  5. Maintain value – If you treat your deck as part of your collection asset, these sleeves help preserve condition and can support long-term value retention.
