LauraBut if I close the top of the toploader firmly before I tape, so there's no way the tape can catch the card (which is first placed inside a plastic sleeve), why is it a problem? The pressure from the tape keeps the toploader shut, so if anything, the tape might catch on the plastic sleeve, not the item/card itself.
I then put the toploader into a rigid cardboard mailer (the bubble ones are useless) and send out with a "DO NOT BEND" stamp (which my local USPS employee buddy tells me is important.) Not a single complaint in over 10 years.
