Packing Guidelines
Step 1
Place each individual card into a penny sleeve/soft sleeve and into a semi-rigid card saver. If you do not have card savers, top loaders are accepted, but there will be a 15p per card charge for any cards which require transferring into a semi-rigid card saver.
Step 2
Encase your cards in cardboard, and seal with tape or bands.
Cover the cardboard with bubble wrap for added protection.
Step 3
Place the cards into a small box and pack tightly, using either packing peanuts, bubblewrap or parcel paper.
Tape your box shut, covering all openings.
When sending packs, we recommend placing the pack inside a graded card sleeve, with a semi-rigid card saver, and following the remaining steps above.
Please avoid:
- Putting every individual card into a team bag.
-Using ‘pull tabs’ when submitting in semi-rigids.
- Putting no information in the package. if you have emailed a submission form, please include your name and order number with your cards.
