I've never had a deal with plain white envelopes before. Can you fit more than 1 base card per top loader in an envelope. What's the max. Can you ship a game used in an envelope. does one stamp cover it. Do you normally just ship the card in the top loader with out other protection. I'm just trying to find out what the max weight or cards are that can be shipped one one stamp. Any help is appreciated.:)

I do penny sleeve inside top loader put a piece of tape over the end just to be safe. Not sure about how much postage I just do 2 stamps to be safe and have never had an issue. I wouldn't try to put more than 2 cards per top holder.
I would think as long as it fits in the envelope and you can easily fold it shut a thicker top loader for a game used card would work just fine as well the postage would likely be a bit more.

I've had no problems shipping PWE, but don't use it for game-used cards.

I use the semi-rigid card sleeves, then a team bag on the other side (it won't completely fit around it) so the cards won't fall out. I can usually fit 3 in there, all in penny sleeves. 4, I would use two of them and 2 stamps, 5 or more warrants bubble mailer, no matter the card value.

You just need a regular stamp and a 20 cent stamp as long as it's just one or two cards (1 oz), any more (2 oz) and you'll need 2 stamps.

Don't ship game-used cards in PWEs unless you want to crease them.

I do it all the time and as long as it's under an ounce there's never been an issue.

Honestly, I don't see how the card could get damaged if it's in a sleeve, top loader, and team bag. Unless it is mistreated horribly, which rarely happens, then you should be in the clear.

If I ship PWE, I ship NON-MACHINABLE....$0.66 cents, up to two cards in a toploader/thick loader, taped shut, taped to a piece of paper and folded so it it doesn't slide around, label envelope non-machinable, do not bend. never had a card damaged or returned in 5 years.
