Tips on packing 142 PSA cards to ship

Looking for tips on how to pack 142 PSA graded cards for shipmenp. Should I wrap each one individually in bubble or just stack them in packs of 20 and secure with bubble wrap/popcorn? Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.

    I'd probably just ship them out the same way I receive them from PSA. Do you have the small brown inner boxes they use left from your orders?

    The only advice I can give is from experience receiving a large box packed with about 200 PSA graded cards (not from PSA). They packed them in a large flat-rate postal box
    without bubble wrap. 2 of the cards on one corner must have taken a hard hit because the cases were cracked. The auction photo shows the cards were not damaged prior to shipment.
    By the way the seller refunded $10 towards getting them re-holdered.

    I would secobd this suggestion for that numer of cards. Just remember to use peanuts in the boxes to preevent the cards from shifting in transit.

    Separate the cards into 20 to 30 card bricks. Place a piece of cardboard on each side making a sandwich and wrap with bubble wrap.

    Be very generous with the bubble wrap.

    Get a cardboard box and lay them flat on top of each other and lay your paperwork on top.

    Make sure you mark the outside of the box with the appropriate service level.

    If there is too much space left in the box roll up either toilet paper or paper towels or more bubble wrap.

    This will work perfectly.
