My collection is 2,900 miles away, what is best way to ship?

I have my childhood collection in Myrtle Beach and I am closer to Malibu.
How would you recommend shipping across the US? I have around 2,000+ cards (what ever was not pilfered over the last 20 years)
A large box and several 400-800 boxes and some albums

    Honestly depending on when you collected as a child a large amount of those cards may not be worth their weight in shipping charges. You have anyone who you trust to at least do a pre-sort to toss anything that is clearly junk before then considering shipping them to you?

    Who is going to pack it for you? If you want a one stop shop that will package it, box it, and ship it, I recommend FedEx Office. Sometimes they run coupons that get the cost down.

    I don’t know who can pack it m, I was considering having a business packet so they wouldn’t be damaged in shipping but I was unsure which would be best. My mom has the cards. The bulk was probably mostly 80s and 90s Junk but there was a lot of good rookies and chase cards and non-sports cards holograms etc. things I looked up on eBay some were more expensive to buy new then what I imagine total shipping might cost work out to be.

    Wait until you go back to visit, then eject the commons from the lot. You can then take the remainder as part of your carry on luggage.
