    I put them in the correct card savers, then put 25 in a stack between 2 pieces of good cardboard that is slightly larger than the card savers. Rubber band around the cardboard and my member # and sub # written on the cardboard.

    Then I wrap bubble wrap around the cardboard and again rubber band it closed.

    Then they go into a priority flat rate box correctly insured and with my return address and member ID on the box. Make sure to use the correct size box so the cards don't get to move around much but also aren't pushing out the sides of the box.

    I put them in a box.

    I ship them USPS.

    Follow the packing guidelines on PSA's website and you can't go wrong. I ship either USPS First Class or Priority (depending on the package weight) with delivery confirmation.

    I also use cardboard on the outside of the card savers... then band them.. I end up using the boxes they send back to you with the graded cards, and fill with peanuts/bubble wrap whatever I have on hand..

    The brown tape isn't necessary. USPS flat rate box always works just fine.

    P.S. Be sure to include lots of junk commons in EX condition as packing material. I heard they like that.

    A PWE with no card savers is a cheap alternative.
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.
