Dang, didn't notice that news till your post. I guess I am now in a game of chance where I wait for this deck, as well as a King in Yellow themed Tarot deck I have on order with ArcDream, and see which random possibility tool arrives first.
Anyway, to your question, I don't know for certain, so I wouldn't go out and buy sleeve materials based on this till actually verified, but I'm thinking the Tarokka Deck that comes with Strahd Revamped may be good precedent for the format, material, and size to expect in this Deck of Many. The Strahd Revamped Tarokka cards measure 3 3/4" wide and about 5 and 1/4" tall. That seems to be pretty standard/common size for Tarot type cards used for storytelling / group reading and "props" so given that and the fact that 5e has an "official" deck of sorts already in its product line in this format, I'm inclined to expect that size for the Deck.
I know at least one person on social media has presented an advance copy of the product, but they focused more on the hardback book's contents and didn't really give much comment or a detailed view of the cards themselves (part of me is now wondering if influencers may have been sort of embargoed not to discuss the cards till the mfr defect was fixed).

x the Strahd cards were jsut oversized playing cards which are different size then a Tarot card, those are 2.75x 4.75. These cards look to be actual Tarot sized
Is 2.75 x 4.75 a standard? Huh, looks like it is, thanks. I've seen decks with that dimension, but honestly I've mostly seen larger decks, though I figured those might have been non standards sine they've almost always been used when the reader was reading before a group at the table, and the one's I tend to collect I'm more getting for the artwork anyway. I think my first impression or real examination of a deck was a set with art done by H.R. Gieger, and those were bigger than my hand. so that's probably why I associate "big cards" with Tarot decks.
70x120mm useful to you? Read the article though, the company that makes them says they're compatible.

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
Does anyone know what the sleeve size for the cards will be? Even with the just announced delay, I’d like to be ready!

Thanks for the responses, all. We will have to use our overactive imaginations until the real cards arrive.
