Question About Mailing Sport Cards

Unread post by Hancock Hunter »

I have a quick question for the members who mail out sport cards for autographing. What would you say is the best method for mailing them? Should I use a regular envelope with a hard protector or maybe a bubble mailer? Suggestions? Any help would be great!


Happy Hunting!

I just send them in a smaller envelope but do not send them in a protector. Due to the fact some have gotten cards back before and the protector be signed and not the card.

I always use a plastic holder and not once has it been signed instead of the card. The plastic holder bends just in case the card is run through the sorting machine. I have also been putting in a index card so the card can be polled out of the holder. This prevents the holder from getting destroyed.

I just throw the cards in the envelope, and only once has there been major damage to the card. I find this the best way because not only will sometimes the holder get signed, but also sometimes the player wont wait long enough to put it back in the sleve, and the auto get smeared.
Feel free to pm me if you need a postage price for mail involving the USA, or if you need to buy US stamps(foreign cash accepted!)
