How your order ships

Every order is packed by hand in DFW and ships with tracking.Here's each step, and what changes with the price.

How it's packed

I personally inspect every card before it lists. When it sells, this is how it leaves my desk. Shipping goes by price, never by grade.

Step 01

Penny sleeve

Every raw card

Every raw card goes into a penny sleeve first. It keeps the surface from rubbing against the holder.

Step 02

Card holder

Rigid from $20 · Semi-rigid under $20

The sleeved card goes into a card holder, which keeps it flat. Cards $20 and up get a rigid card holder; under $20, a semi-rigid one.

Step 03

Protective bag

$20 and up

From $20, the card holder goes into a protective bag before it's mailed.

Step 04

Into the mailer

Cards $20 and up, and every slab, ship in a bubble mailer. Under $20, the card ships in an eBay Standard Envelope.
