Title: shipping
Post by: wyatt_marcum on January 01, 2015, 08:00:23 PM
I' selling a couple of yugioh card deck/sets on ebay, and was wondering what a good way to ship them is? I was thinking of just using plastic wrap to keep them together and mailing the in a small box. any suggestions that might work better, are cheap(ish) or look better than my idea?

I wrap the cards together with plastic, then sandwich them between two pieces of cardboard and rubber band or tape it. Then put that in a box or folder and mail it.

They are called 'team bags' and are usually used for sports cards, but they work great for any cards! Using cardboard for extra support is good, and bubble mailers have worked well for me. Long ago, I used aluminum foil to wrap around the cards. It kept them together and protected them as long as there were at least a decent number (30+). I would then mail them in a bubble mailer.

Depends on how many cards you're talking about, but a small box is probably best. Use crumpled up newspaper as filler if you don't have packing peanuts.

I went to Dollar Tree and got several Bubble Envelopes for a dollar.
If you dont have one near you, an Office Supply store would have them, but probably for a higher price.
Family Dollar, Dollar General, places like that should have them depending on the location.
