About a couple decades ago I had dozens of shipments of Zeenut cards from an Ebay seller whose consistent shipping practice was to wrap the cards up in, not a full sheet of paper towel, but a portion, and mailed them within a plain white envelope. They all arrived in decent shape (these were cards that had been taped on front to secure to a scrapbook and then subsequently had the section of tape cut off that attached them to the scrapbook. So in reality, even with the section of tape that remained on the card, they were in fairly decent Zeenut condition, even if they had gotten some shipping damage, which they didn't.

A bonus was the real strong cigarette odor, which I am proud to report only took about 15 years to dissipate. But if I were to pick up the habit, I would make sure these Zeenut cards would be nearby, because I believe they miss the second-hand smoke.
