From the ATCs for All website here are the specifics for cards:
- ATCs must be 2.5″ x 3.5″ (6.35 cm x 8.9 cm).
- If your card backings are glued on, please make sure all glue is dried before mailing or before putting in a plastic sleeve.
- Please put each ATC in a plastic sleeve. Plastic sleeves (also called penny sleeves) can be purchased at sports card or hobby stores. They cost approximately $1 US for 100 sleeves.
