How to Ship Valuable Pokémon Cards

Packing, carriers and documentation for higher-value cards.

Packing\n- Penny sleeve, then a top loader or semi-rigid holder.\n- Seal the top with painter's tape so the card cannot slide out.\n- Sandwich between two pieces of cardboard, or use a small box for slabs.\n- Use a bubble mailer at minimum; a box for anything high value or graded.\n\n## Carrier\nAlways use a service with tracking. For higher values, consider signature confirmation and insurance where available.\n\n## Documentation\nPhotograph the card, the packed contents and the sealed package with the label visible before drop-off. Keep the receipt.\n\n## Shipping to us\nFor middleman deals, ship to the address shown in your deal dashboard and enter the tracking number there so both sides can follow it.

We facilitate transactions, coordinate shipping and document packages. We do not authenticate, grade or appraise cards, and we do not guarantee authenticity. Item descriptions and photos are supplied by sellers.
