Card Sending

[Snowmanlikeme]

When sending baseball cards, or any cards for that matter through the mail, what is the best way to send them. I mean, what is the best way to keep the cards in pristine condition. Thank you for your help. I want to start being the guy selling cards instead of just buying, but dont want my products to be damaged. Please hit me back people.

When sending one, place it in a top loader and then in a team bag.

When shipping more than one, place them in a team bag and bubble mailer.

Thanks but what is a team bag? Thanks for the information.

[Deadshot]

It is a little bag made for cards that can hold around 25 cards. I believe they sell them for real cheap at most card stores.

Ok thanks. And a basic toploader is just kind of like a hard plastic that hold one card on the inside right? I think I have a couple of those that I hold my favorite cards in that I just called protectors. Never knew they had a real name.

Yeah, those are the same thing.

Yeah, You can get Team Bags at your local card shop, they are little sealable-resealable bags (cost about $2.00 for 100 or so) that you can put your cards in, and also to put screw-downs in to keep them from getting scratched. Also, when shipping a card/cards, ship the card in a top-loader, then in a team bag, then into a Bubble Mailer. Add 1 or 2 stamps and the address of the person your sending to, and your done!
