How to package, and how to trade step by step.

Piotr

Shouldn't that be on Wiki?

Best way to package IMO:

1. Insert card in plastic sleeve.
2. Flip upside and insert into top loader.
3. Tape top loader shut.
4. Put in envelope and tape to envelope itself inside so it can't move or wrap it in a piece of paper and tape closed so it can't cut the envelope. Also helps people not see what's inside.

Top loader?
So just insert in any sleeve.
And what about shipping, and postage costs and such.

In UK we always use bubble wrap envelopes.

Toploaders are the hard plastic cases. They're cheap. If you package that way you can ship in a plain envelope. For expensive trades ill use a bubble envelope.

Shipping depends on how many cards and cases you send. One stamp is good a lot. Sometimes two. A lot of cards maybe 3, depends.

How many cards fit in a top loader, and top loaders range from $-$???

3 in a standard size one. Sometimes you have to work it a bit as 3 is snug. As for price idk but its cheap. You can buy a pack of like 50 at Walmart real cheap.
