- I 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.
- I 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.
- I Usually place one or more cards in a hard case.
- 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.
- I wrap the cards 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.
If you follow the above steps, your cards will come to me undamaged.
Postage:
First class mail in the U.S. is very reliable. You can purchase additional services if you like, but I use regular first class 90% of the time.
Try not to spend more in postage than you will receive for the cards!
