Shipping cards...

I'm new to the board and just started collecting a 1969 Topps Baseball graded set. Gemint's '69 set on ebay introduced me to the registry and this forum. I've gotten a lot enjoyment over the last month reading this forum. A newbie question...What is the best way to ship a single graded card through the mail(including packaging) that will be safe and of course be inexpensive for the purchaser? Thanks.

    Agreed. That's what I use and I've never had a packaging issue. Welcome to the boards.

    same here, also make sure you tape or put something over the top of the case because it will prevent the card form shifting around and possibly falling out!!!!

    Grady,

    Welcome to the boards and good luck on a very challenging set. The 1969 community is a helpful one and should be able to answer any questions you may have.

    You may want to keep an eye on this auction (if you're not already):

    40 card PSA 8 lot

    On higher dollar cards (or when shipping two or three at a time) I use a 300 count card box with packing peanuts. It eliminates any possibility of the envelope getting crushed.

    Thanks Zodiac. I am looking at that auction. The only thing that might hold me back is I already have thirteen of the cards. How long have you been collecting to get the 32% of the set you have?

    Grady,

    I started in May of 2003. I picked up most of the cards from e-Bay. Many of the stars are from my own submission and that is why there are a few 6's in the mix. I'm holding off on another submission until my wife gives me a loupe for Valentine's Day.

    If you do a search for 1969 on the vintage trading board you can find a few doubles I have. Let me know if you are interested.

    Good luck and if you have any questions about the set, feel free to e-mail me or send me a PM.

    Michael
