Please ship all cards in a penny sleeve and protective case. Once the cards are put in top loaders, we suggest that you put all items in team bags so there is no chance of the cards coming out during shipping. Please make sure that your item(s) are packaged well with plenty of padding, so the box does not cave in or crush. Trademark recommends that you ship using USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes to save on the shipping costs. This will minimize the shipping costs and allow consignors to ship a large amount for a reasonable price. Expedited shipping services are always preferred for security and efficiency. Regardless of which carrier you use, ALWAYS send packages with a tracking number, insurance, and require signature upon delivery. Please contact us with any questions.
