Posted By: <b>Steve M.</b><p>First may I say that I don't send anything to PSA, just SGC, but the same should apply.<br /><br />1. Take the cards out of screw downs.<br />2. Slip card into a Card Saver.<br />3. Sandwich the cards between some heavy duty cardboard.<br />4. Wrap the whole thing in bubble wrap.<br />5. Slip that into a used bubble mailer.<br />6. Put the whole thing in a FedEx box.<br />7. Let her rip. Should get there in fine shape with no problem.

Posted By: <b>Judge Dred (Fred)</b><p>Don't forget the card submission form.<br /><br />I agree with Steve: FEDEX the package. IMO they have the best tracking system and they have never let me down like UPS. UPS and USPS are afterthoughts. I wouldn't consider using anyone else but FEDEX.<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p>Registered Mail goes cheaply and safely to PSA in a day to 2 at the most. I have sent several hundred packages without a single problem. Amazingly they take a full 2 days to get to SGC , but again never had a problem. Anyone who uses a small Post office where you can get to know the post master personally can give you unbeleivable service and support. Good luck Brian<br /><br />FEDEX is Ok, but I would never use UPS.

Posted By: <b>david poses</b><p>i have been buying graded cards that i want to break OUT of the slabs and put in binders. This is getting very dangerous (flying sharp shards of plastic). Anyone have a tip on how best to accomplish this with little risk to my eyeballs?
