What have you seen that seems better? More cardboard? Bubble wrap? A box vs a bubble mailer?

One way that I think is pretty close to perfectly safe is take the graded card, place it in one of those 8 x 11 eBay padded air jackets, roll it up, then fold the ends down and put it in a 400 ct card box. It fits so snug, there is no moving of the card and it's padded because of the mailer. I think some of these other replies are good as well.

For less expensive slabs I think use a 6x9 ebay padded mailer and roll the slab up and tape it shut like you would with my previous example with the box and instead of putting it in a box put that smaller rolled up mailer in the larger 8 x 11 mailer, then roll it up and seal it. It gives it a lot of extra padding. That would be for one card, I think you need a little extra padding for more than one card.

Grrrrr....

Magic tape is ok to write on, and worthless for everything else. Shippers, quit using it, please.

I REALLY like opening a package and seeing 2 layers of size cut cardboard held together by multiple rubber bands. That's how I know it's an experienced collector doing the mailing. Thank you!

Those boxes posted earlier look good! Remember the boxes Lew Lipset used, they were great!

Less tape is better. truly. And if tape must be used, please try to not stick tape to slabs, card holders, top loaders, and such.

I'm not a fan of styrofoam peanuts...

Books, I know a book is from a bibliophile when I get through the bubble wrap only to find that the book is inside kraft paper, wrapping paper, or such. And it's a certainty if they've tied that paper wrapping in place with string. Thank you!!!!

All I know is sellers love to get detailed shipping instructions from those who have won an item or hit the BIN. For some reason they prefer this info AFTER you have paid.

when I get those, I reply with "sorry I can not honor your request. would you like to cancel the order?"
