Shipping your Cards:

How to do it right!

• Ship in padded bubble envelopes.
  • This protects the cards from damage.
  • This reduces the chances of theft.
  • Plain white envelopes are sometimes delivered empty.
  • Bubble envelopes are available in the US from the Post Office and office supply stores.
• Place the cards in penny sleeves.
  • These soft thin sleeves that prevent cards from rubbing.
  • They are available at any comic or sports card store.
• Place one or more cards in a hard case. (but not all of them)
• This keeps the cards from getting bent should they be run over. (this happens)
• Hard Cases or Top Loaders are available from comic and sport card stores.
• Wrap the cards, as a bundle, in the packing list.
  • Wrapping the cards keeps them from getting loose, getting bent, or worst of all, getting up into the glue that seals the envelope.
  • Loose cards that are damaged in transit will be rejected and returned.
  • Do not wrap each card individually.

Postage:

First class mail in the U.S. is very reliable. You can purchase additional services if you like, but try not to spend more in postage than you will receive for the cards!

How to do it wrong:

• Ship the cards loose. (so they get damaged!)
• Put each card in a hard case. (so we have to do extra work!)
• wrap each card individually in paper. (Ditto)
• Don't include a return address. (This way we can't return them.)
• Don't check the backs of the cards (Mint means scratched, right?)
