I mail cards in card savers and plain envelopes all the time. Of course, they aren't top condition to begin with...but I think it's a perfectly fine way to ship. I probably wouldn't do it on a big sale, but I don't think I've ever had a card that was damaged that way either.

Positive feedback but shipping should be low marks? Agree with Leon

Yeah, That's kind of what I was thinking too. Positive it will be, but with a comment about the poor packaging. Thanks guys!

Positive feedback but would mention the packaging situation plus send them a note on how it arrived and how they may be able to ship cards more securely (cardboard sandwich, bubble envelope, box etc).

Wait to see how the seller responds and proceed accordingly....Just my 2¢.

Isn't this the reason that they have neutral feedback though?

Exact same thing happened to me today. These 3 cards arrived in penny sleeves that had been dropped into a small white envelope and stuffed into a flimsy flat rate mailer which was subsequently folded in half so that it could be jammed into my mailbox. No apparent damage to the cards (they were only G to VG to start with), but this seller knows that condition is important to potential buyers, as she described them as crease-free. You'd think she'd take the seemingly obvious step to secure the cards in some way, so that they'd arrive in the same condition in which they were purchased. Edited to add: I'm not gonna neg her, but I will send a note recommending proper packaging, ie put the damn cards between two pieces of firm cardboard.

Sometimes even if you do package correctly, there can be issues. Recently I sent a SGC graded card to a fellow board member in cardboard and padded envelope. Slab was cracked when it arrived. Card was okay and will need to be reslabbed by SGC but would have preferred USPS used some care in handling. Fortunately the trading partner was understanding and kept the card. Lesson should be print hand stamp and fragile all over the padded envelope so the postal gorillas don't destroy it. Other option is to pay the bribe (insurance) and file a claim when they don't do their job correctly.

I bought a quantity of 6X6X1 white tuck flap boxes. I ship all cards in these boxes either by First Class mail or put them in a Priority envelope. Never had a card damaged. Well worth the investment.
