Perfect fits damaging cards depends upon a lot of factors desu. Quite a few things can impact how tight the perfect fit is other than the actual size of the sleeve.
The thickness of the card (WOTC era cards in general being thicker) contributes heavily to it. Also not all perfect fits are cut the same (even in the same batch)
So if you must perfect fit you really need to do a few things
-buy good brand
-Weed out the too small ones in the batch you ordered
-(Most important step)put a junk card in the perfect fit before to test. Helps stretch it out.
-Put in carefully without pressure.
Or just never have to worry about it and use a penny sleeve or a dragon shield clear.
-Never too tight
-In my experience seals the card better from moisture to prevent excessive curling
-allows the card breathing room to expand and contract. When a foil curls in a perfect fit it isn't pretty
-Should any dust get in it isn't a death sentence vs a perfect fit
-fits better in binders. Perfect fits kinda suck ass in premium binders.
Honestly the only time you should perfect fit is double sleeving for playing.
