Thick cards ALWAYS get bent. Sent a bunch of cards and the only ones that were bent (and pretty much ruined) were really thick cards and cards with jerseys in them. If its a thick card DO NOT send in just an envelope cause it will get bent to sh!t going through the rollers at the post office.

Awesome, thanks guys.

Nope, I've just sent them out as is in regular paper envelopes, never had a problem.

Even without a toploader or some sort of covering or case? I sent one bare in the envelope, and two with sleeves.

I've sent quite a few trading cards through the mail and never once had one damaged. Not even bent a little.

I just sent out a couple cards through the mail today hoping to get them autographed. I put them in a normal envelope, one with a protective sleeve, the other just bare. Is there a high chance that they'll get damaged TTM? Have you had any experiences with trading cards/photos being damaged TTM? Also, where can I put 'DO NOT BEND' on the envelope? Does that even help? Sorry for all of these questions, I'm getting back into the autograph collecting hobby.
