Thanks for all your input guys & girls..............packaging is critical to ensure the safe transit of all our cards and it should be foremost in our minds when trading. I gota say that if anyone sent me a card in tissue paper in a while envelope I would go ballistic and neg their ar$e from here to kingdom come.......that is just plain (well u know what).
For all members out there, check your local framing shops, I buy off cuts of mapboard and cut it to suit the cards I am sending............I got about 20 off cut pieces last week for 2 dollars.....how can u go wrong.
My usual approach for multiple cards involves about 10 cards in a team bag, folded and taped to stop cards sliding, that is taped to a piece of map board cut to size and another piece placed on top and the whole lot taped.........just ask davidswadling to comment on the package I sent him today, even the Broncos premiership set in the 25 count box was protected with board AND it was all wrapped in bubblewrap. Should have taken a picture..........lol
well said tak
