For $30k+, I'd be doing personal delivery - but that is just me. That sum is just too much to trust anything IMO.

Maybe you guys could just agree on a neutral 3rd party - i.e. a known person in the hobby, to act as an escrow holder?

I have used escrow.com a couple of times.
It always was fine with my transactions, but I never had a transaction that large.

If I needed to ship a 30K card I would use registered mail and insure it for the maximum 25K. You are incurring an infinitesimally small risk. And it will cost somewhere around $50. Flying will cost multiples of that and there are risks there too, such as loss or theft. Would you even be insured if you lost it while traveling?

Shipping a card
A concern I have with shipping the card is the honesty of the buyer. What is to prevent them from claiming I shipped an empty envelope and then go back to the escrow service or paypal or whoever and demand their money be returned?

If you do not know the buyer well, I would ask to use a well-respected and mutually agreed upon dealer as the broker of the deal. If you are dealing with cards like that, I would guess most major dealers would be happy to oblige. Just tell him you feel more comfortable with the card being held by somebody you know.

I once brokered a deal for a board member who lived in the midwest and was selling a card to someone in the New York area. He sent me the card, and the buyer met me at my bank in Brooklyn. It worked fine and everybody was happy.

No registered package is ever opened and inspected.
