📦 Seller Shipping Guidelines

Safe, consistent packing protects buyers and your seller rating. Follow the value-based rules below for ungraded singles, graded slabs, and sealed products.

🚦 Policy at a Glance (U.S.)

Raw Singles ≤ $50

Eligible for trackable letter shipping only if envelope stays machinable

Raw Singles > $50

Required: Bubble mailer or box + full tracking

Graded Slabs (any value)

Box only + padding + tracking; add insurance as value rises

Sealed Products

Box only; tight void fill; double-box for higher values

✨ Raw (Ungraded) Singles

💌 Option A — Trackable Letter (≤ $50 orders only)

We support trackable letter labels via EasyPost for low-value raw singles that stay within machinable letter limits.

Machinable Letter Requirements

Size: 3.5″ × 5″ to 6.125″ × 11.5″
Thickness: ≤ 0.25″ (uniform)
Weight: ≤ 3 oz
Not overly rigid
No clasps/strings/buttons
Address parallel to long edge
Envelope not plastic

Trading Card Content Limits

Up to 24 raw cards, or up to 2 cards in toploaders (max two toploaders total).

Packing Instructions

Penny sleeve → semi-rigid (Card Saver) or single toploader
Team bag for protection
Thin chipboard on both sides (no bulky foam)
Flat A-size or #10 envelope within limits
Apply your Misprint/EasyPost letter label (trackable)

Do NOT use letter mail if:

Packing exceeds 0.25″ or becomes too rigid
Order value is over $50
Contents are graded, thick, or non-machinable

📦 Option B — Bubble Mailer (required for > $50; recommended default)

The safer, more robust option for all raw singles, especially higher value cards.

Packing Instructions

Penny sleeve → toploader or semi-rigid → team bag
Painter's tape over the toploader opening
Small bubble wrap around card protection
Place in a padded mailer
Ship with full tracking (e.g., USPS Ground Advantage)

✅ Why Choose Bubble Mailer:

Superior protection against damage
Required for orders over $50
Reduces risk of returns and disputes
Better seller reputation protection

💰 Why We Cap Letter Mail at $50

We set $50 as the maximum order value for letter shipments as a risk benchmark. For orders above this threshold, the additional protection of bubble mailers or boxes significantly reduces the risk of damage and disputes.

🏆 Graded Cards (PSA, BGS, CGC, etc.)

Graded slabs require extra care due to their rigid nature and high value. Always use boxes for maximum protection.

📋 Packing Steps

Bag the slab (graded card sleeve) to prevent scuffs
Wrap fully in bubble wrap
Place in a small box (never a mailer alone)
Fill voids so the slab can't shift during transit
Seal securely with quality packing tape

💎 High-Value Recommendations

$500+: Add insurance and signature confirmation
$1000+: Consider double-boxing for extra security
Always photograph your packing process
Use high-quality bubble wrap and boxes

⚠️ Critical: Never Use Mailers Alone for Graded Cards

Bubble mailers alone do not provide sufficient protection for rigid graded slabs. The slab can crack or the case can break if subjected to pressure during shipping. Always use a box.

🔒 Sealed Product (ETBs, booster boxes, tins)

Handle gently—shrink-wrap and corners matter to collectors. Proper packaging preserves both value and condition.

📦 Standard Packing

Inspect shrink-wrap carefully before packing
Wrap fully in bubble wrap (avoid direct contact with shrink-wrap)
Use appropriately sized box with firm void fill
Avoid oversized boxes and packing peanuts
Tape box seams cleanly and securely

🛡️ High-Value Protection

$200+: Consider double-boxing for extra protection
Add corner protectors for booster boxes
Use signature confirmation for expensive items
Add insurance based on item value
Document packaging with photos

🎯 Collector-Focused Tips

Never tape directly onto shrink-wrap or product surfaces
Preserve original condition - even minor shrink-wrap damage affects value
Use clean, undamaged boxes for premium products
Consider the unboxing experience for high-value items

✅ General Best Practices

✅ DO

•Use tracking on all shipments (letters via EasyPost are trackable)
•Photograph your packing for high-value orders
•Reuse sturdy materials when possible
