Tape your toploaders!

[RenegadeLonghorn]

Lately I've been getting mail that I haven't been too happy with. In some instances the card was half way out of the top loader. I'm not angry, but I would prefer if the entire card was protected. Of course the cause is a bigger toploader and the card just slides out. Even in a bubble mailer there's a possibility of damage. I almost always tape my toploaders so the cards cant' slide out. Its the right thing to do! Anyone else get mail like this?

Ive got a few things off the bay like that. the stinking card was sticking out of the top loader. People should be smarter when they send things. Tape the top loader or put it in a team bag.

I received a card today, from an ebay seller, he hadnt taped it and it wasnt even in a penny sleeve inside the toploader. The card is in fine condition just...its about caring.

I'll hate myself if I ever forget to do this.

i rarely tape them as i just dont think about it and have had one problem in over 145 positive trades... you guys must just have bad luck with mail

I penny sleeve, topload, tape, then packed it in a bubble mailer cut in half i already received and then put that small package in a regular bubble mailer, so its like 2 bubble mailers..

You know....I think I solved the tape issue on top loaders. I have recently started using small post it notes to put across the top of Top loaders. It works great. Not only will the card not slide out, the top loader doesn't get sticky junk all over it. Try it out.

Better yet, use a resealable team bag for maximum protection.

Where can I find team bags? I have a couple from a trade and ebay.

I just buy them at my local shop or show. I'm sure there are some sellers online that would help you out. I pay $2 for a pack of 100, and they last a while.
