Much, much better than 99% of eBay sellers. Especially the sellers that put cards in a two inch cardboard, top loader and painter tape sandwich that need a chainsaw to open.

Don’t play with your food - you are supposed to EAT the sandwich

So if we sell an encased card from say Panini, they are not actually cracking the seal or anything right?

I have a good value card for sale that is encased, if they ever cracked that case Id die.

So where does the card ship from the seller?

I must have been sleeping on this news.

If you are in Canada it does not apply.
USA only, as of now.

Good thing I’ll never have to worry about having a card go through this process.

Yes, cards need to be worth a certain amount.

Thanks for explaining. I had no idea.

If it will never affect you, why are you posting so much here about it?

This is one of many, many silly things in the hobby but you seem fixated on it.

How does it not affect me? This policy has led me to choose to buy and sell elsewhere any cards meeting criteria. If it progresses to $250 and graded, that is a lot of cards for me. Life will go on. But now is the time to say something about this before any opportunity for revision is gone.

You just described the best way to ship someone a card. The problem is when people use packaging tape.

It's just the cheapest way to ship cards (other than PWE). That doesn't actually make it the best.

Nope that would just be sending the card with 0 protection in a soft sleeve which has happened. Or just in the toploader covered in a piece of printer paper with the companies business card

If it's just inside a single wall cardboard sandwich that most everyone uses (or worse cardboard cut from worn shipping cartons) then it's not much better than a PWE and crossing your fingers.

So two pieces of cardboard with painters tape isnt the way to do it now? We gotta use brand new fresh cardboard sheets? Lolwut


I use two pieces of cardboard and painters tape. Rarely new cardboard but good cardboard nonetheless. Then I wrap in bubble wrap and box. Solid/secure as can be.

This ain’t the way to do it? Please enlighten me on how it’s done

I’ve never had negative feedback, matter of fact a lot people point out my packaging

I do the same and get excellent feedback on how I protect the cards.

The endless assurances that nothing's ever happened don't mean much to anyone who's been the recipient of a poor packaging job. As for toploader/sandwiched cardboard/bubble envelope being the absolute best method, I'm sure it is for everyone who knows boxes means higher shipping costs that would eat into profits.

And ebay, laugable as they are, just showed how it's done. I'm referring to the outer box they used and not that elastic strap contraption holding the card.

Got it. So people constantly saying thanks for the great packaging doesn't mean they didn't have poor packaging. Thanks for that amazing insight.

Received two graded cards just stuck in a bubble mailer this week...from two different sellers even.
Couldn't believe they didnt include something around it to help absorb the blows

Interesting suppose its a mailing/logistics thing.

Gosh this sucks.

[Stech36]

Interesting experience today.

Got my card in. It was shipped in this. It was just in the middle of the cardboard. And there is no eBay seal. Possibly because it was an auto that wasn’t supposed to be sent there

Sorry for. The bad pics





Edit: missed this

Did multiple people bid it up to $33k? If so, then I'd say yes. What's so hard to understand about this? It's basically a card that hasn't seen the light of day in a decade or two.
