how to best ship wax packs?

hi, shipping some wax to psa for review. these are pretty old and obviously want to do all i can to not damage them. they are currently in team bags with a top loader each for support.

Do i wrap each individaully in bubble wrap? should i put 2/4 or 5 together? Just want to be careful if i put multiple together with them rubbing each other and could risk the gum damage in the wrapper. I have about 10 or 12 total.

    Hey shu4040,
    I was recently at a show that PSA was accepting submissions.
    I notice someone submitting Un-Opened packs that he had "IN" a Top-Loader then "WRAPPED" in a Team-Bag.
    PSA made him take them out and put them in a "Bubble-Wrap" Bag, saying that they (PSA) did not want to possibly damage them when removing them from the Top-Loaders.
    Hope this Helps.
  • Is there a master list of known packs that they will accept?
  • I put mine in 50 count snap cases w foam under and over it within the case so that it was snug but not stressed.

    Have you ever received a package from Steve hart?
    I sugest his method.

    I agree with pack inside team bag, backed with top loader. If high value, I would then wrap each pack in small bubble wrap as well.

    You can ship as safely and securely as possible, but cross your fingers that the wrapper doesn't get torn post-grading by loose gum on its way back to you!

    disassembled into 12 or 13 separate parts for early 70's and then the receiver of the wax pack can reassemble. Guarantee to be no gum tears !
