Im Sorry for the Rant..BUT PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO SHIP CARDS

[demon_dave]

My worst shipping experience was from a lot of SP game used jerseys...about 20 of them...only 4 were in toploaders..the rest were just sandwiched between them and then the seller used....get this...MASKING TAPE!!! the stickiest foulest tape to use!!! it ruined the 4 top loaders, and got pressed into the side of about 4 of the uncased ones sandwiched in between. Very frustrating since these cards are worth $8-$20 each...Clearly the seller is someone with a lot of money buying cases and hoping to strike it rich, to him these were all "garbage" cards.

Any trades that I have received have been with top loaders- regardless of the value of the card. 90% of the time, I ship my trades out in magnetic cases. Sleeves don't work with those, but the little extra cash it costs me to make sure that MY card gets to YOU in the same condition you wanted it in, makes it worth it.

i'm going to disagree a little bit with the shipping sentiment here. If i have a large lot of cards to ship, i'm not going to put every one in a soft sleeve and top loader. My standard way of shipping large lots is single out any particularly expensive cards if there are any and put those in soft sleeves and top loaders. The rest go in a hard plastic case. With decoys lining the top and bottom and maybe some soft plastic to act as a buffer. I'll then tape the case shut to prevent it from opening, put it in a box, surround it with paper or something else to keep it secure and seal it up.

As a seller who has over 1,000 positive feedback between here and ebay, i would hardly consider this sub-standard. Especially when nowadays buyers expect you to ship everything for as inexpensive as possible. If a buyer wants every card in a lot in a top loader or some other specific request, the buyer should make that aware from the beginning and be prepared to pay more to compensate the seller for the time and resources this will cause. If i'm making .73 per card on a lot i know is going to turn around and get flipped, i'm not going to be too thrilled to go above and beyond to help the flipper make more money...
