How to package slabs going to PWCC for auction?

RufussCkingston

Going to send off some slabs to PWCC this week for auction, but when I go to submit the form, I am presented with the following:

"Prepare Your Items

Assemble all items you'd like to submit to auction. Remove any stickers, sleeves and team bags.
Items that arrive with stickers, sleeves, or team bags will incur an additional $50/hour charge for our team to remove them before your cards are imaged."

I had planned to put the slabs in slotted CGC/SGC grading return boxes with the slabs in sleeves (mostly unseeled) so that the cases don't get scratched up during transport. Looks like PWCC doesn't want to waste time removing slabs from sleeves.

So what is the best way to package 20 plus "raw" slabs so they don't get scratched and cracked in shipping. I could put each one in a #000 bubble mailer, but besides the cost, that would probably take them longer to unpack then just pulling the cards out of sleeves.

I would stack them in bricks of about 8 to 10 and wrap the bricks in several layers of bubble wrap. Then put in a large box with copious packing peanuts. They definitely will not get scratched and should be good as long as the corners are protected by enough bubble wrap.

That how I sent mine (36 card consignment) - no trouble at all - so far, my consignment with PWCC has gone off without a hitch.
