Best way to ship cards for your trade?
Hey Guys,
I am new to trading cards. My son is really into hockey now so we collect cards of players/teams we like. I have listed all of my traders in the NHL card trading thread--no trades yet. But if I get a trade going, what is the best way to ship?
What do you appreciate that people do when they ship to you; what are some things that annoy you when people ship cards to you?
Advice?
I have sent cards to my nephews in BC, Canada. I lay the cards flat in two stacks next to each other, then secure them there with blue trim tape, then tri-fold the paper like a letter and put it in a business envelope and attach an international postage stamp. This method seems to work, but they are 10 & 12. Collectors are more particular--gotta make sure its right!
Thanks!
Mark

Always ship in a bubble mailer unless you are shipping 1 or 2 cheap cards. Then you can use a PWE. NEVER ship a game used or thick card in a PWE and NEVER ship an expensive card this way. I only get damaged game used cards when people ship them in a PWE.
Inside the bubble mailer either ship the cards in a penny sleeve and top loader, screw down/snap case, or for cheaper lots in a team bag sandwiched around top loaders. I always prefer top loaders over cardboard even though there is a very small minority that likes to use cardboard for some reason.Selling All My Cards Here------>Hidden Content
