USPS ruins a gem/ Davidssportscards

For any card with a value over $500, I always use a Priority Mail Small Flat Rate box. The card inside the box is bubble wrapped. That's probably what the seller should have done instead of just mailing in a bubble mailer.

That is precisely why I triple wrap cards in bubble wrap before I put them in the bubble mailer. Sorry for your loss.

I basically have turned to only using the Priority Flat rate boxes. They are FREE at the P.O. ,So Why Not??? And it only cost 5-6 bucks i think. And plenty of room for packing materials. And if its highly valuable, like 250+ I try and usually get insurance and thus makes the buyer sign for it at the door.
