If they are like a 1$ cards, i wouldn't be surprised. The way fee's , shipping, and other cost are now a days, those .25 cent top loaders add up. Or the thick top loaders that are like .50-.75 cents.
Or were the cards not properly secured in the large top loader?

I don’t usually purchase $1 cards. Most of my purchases are in the $20-$100 range. I am willing to pay extra for proper shipping. Sliding 3-4 cards in a sleeve is not the answer.
I’ve also seen instances where a seller has combined 6 different purchases (about 30 cards)- no sleeves, no top loaders, just sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard and placed in an regular envelope. All the cards were damaged.

Which I agree. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen.

I agree. I brought this topic up because it happens all to often. If I spend $150 with a seller, I shouldn’t have to overly inspect my purchase because of poor shipping practices regardless of shipping fees. This has happen with free shipping, combined shipping as well as up to $20 in shipping fees. I wouldn’t mind it if they would at least penny sleeve EACH purchase. I’m not even talking about multiple items in a single auction, just different auctions. Meaning I would be more acceptable to 10 cards in a single auction being shipped in this manner, but multiple auctions of single cards in the price range of $20-50? That’s an issue for me.
