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.

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

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

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

relic cards, or cards that are like triple stock can get damaged when they go through rollers...but regular base I have not had a problem with.

Awesome, thanks guys.

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.
