1. SLEEVED
Every card goes into a clear protective sleeve first.

2. BACKED
Taped to thick cardboard so the card and blister can’t bend in transit.

3. BOXED
Wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a sturdy box. We never use envelopes for carded cars.

NOTE: We take photos of every card before packing. Proof it left us in perfect condition.
