    I buy the 000 size and then back the cards with cardboard which gives it a decent snug fit. You can buy them on ebay for around $0.09 each with shipping if you look hard.

    I also use the 000 size and back it with cardboard. I get mine from esupplystore.com in bulk. 600 of them at a time gets the rate around .10 each with shipping.

    the same - esupply store 6x9 work best then you can sandwich the card between cardboard. the 4x7 are too tight to use the cardboard with graded cards.

    i get mine from altusmarket on ebay, 2100 for 215$, royalmailers is alright, but they are a smite too small to get 2 slabs into by just a hair,most of ny biz is other than sports stuff anyways so i dot suppose it matters,but i think these guys are pretty cheap

    I agree. I should have specified...I need to use slightly thinner than normal corrugated cardboard on both side of the slab to make it fit. I also keep the 6x9's aroundfor when I ship a couple. I wrap in bubblewrap and box up anything more than 3, though.

    I checked both places and I see a lot of 4 x 8 and 6 x 10, but no 6 x 9. Are you guys buying the 6 x 10s?

    yes, it's 6x10 - not x9. I like those because you can get more than one card in them even with cardboard and extra bubble wrap.

    Many sellers carry a 6x9 size #0 bubble mailer.

    We make our Size#0 6.5 x 9.5 on the inner dimensions, and 6.75x10 on the outer dimensions thus giving you more mailer for less money.

    Our case of 250 size #0 with free shipping runs $32 free shipping anywhere in the USA.

    Our Size #000 is actually 4.25 x 7.5 on the inner dimensions. Most of the industry makes them 4x7.5

    I have been reading that many of you use cardboard backing to keep your items secure while in transit. This is an item that we do not carry currently but is certainly on the radar.

    Has anyone tried "Bubble Bags" as a method of keeping your cargo secure? Lots of our Jewelry sellers use them for that extra layer of protection. They run about .10 cents a bag and have a great look when your customers receive them.

    I don't use the bubble bags but do use the foam pouches. Same price as bubble bags and keeps cards secure as you said.

    JeremyDie1,

    Ahh yes... Those foam pouches are really good for cards. A great choice for that extra layer of protection for those more expensive cards or coins. U-line stocks a good variety of pouches and their quality is generally decent.

    Anyone from Bay Area?

    Uline has a good sale going on for bubble mailers right now. Use Code # SP220

    For example a case of 250 "size 0" 6x10's breaks down to a little more than 17 cents a unit (including shipping)
