How to pack and ship baseball, basketball, and other sports cards
Before sending your sports trading cards, follow these packing instructions:
Packing and sending single sports cards by courier
- Place the card into a plastic sleeve;
- Place the card into a plastic ‘Top loader’ to prevent bending;
- Protect the card with a piece of cardboard;
- Wrap the packed card with bubble wrap or other protecting material;
- Place the card into a padded envelope and fill any extra space with additional cushioning.
For the best protection, avoid sending single sports cards in a plain letter envelope. These provide very limited protection and are prone to bending, which will ruin the card.
How to ship a baseball or basketball card collection by courier
- Use an album with plastic binder sleeves.
- Place each card inside the trading card binder sleeve for protection;
- Protect each page with cardboard front and back, the same size as the page.
- Wrap the album with bubble wrap and secure it with tape;
- Place the album inside a cardboard box and fill in any extra space.
- Close and seal the box with tape.
