Shipping boxes?
Hey guys,
I'm just curious where you guys buy boxes from when you're shipping graded cards, either ones you've sold to others, or ones you are using to ship to a TPG like SGC or PSA? I'm going to be selling off a significant portion of my modern baseball card collection, and when I get back to work, I'll be focusing on the vintage and pre-war only. I can't drive anywhere for three more weeks, so I'm looking to get sturdy boxes that I can buy online and have shipped to me. I can always use padded mailers for single cards, but for something like a graded Bryce Harper rookie, or a Mike Trout, I want to send it in something that will protect the card like Ft. Knox. Thanks for the input, guys. Much appreciated!

For expensive cards, I put them in a bubble mailer and put that in a USPS Priority box and tape it up. Never had an issue.

The last set of boxes I got were these http://www.ebay.com/itm/380719017445...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I generally use these for anything over $100 or more than 2/3 graded cards. I make a sandwich with two extra pieces of cardboard cut to just fit inside the box but still slightly large than the graded card case. Graded cards have just a little wiggle room. You can easily ship multiple cards by first class without a problem. I don't recall how many cards exactly you could put in before you go over the weight limit for first class, but I know if your only shipping 3-5 graded cards it will likely only cost you $2.77 (through ebay/paypal multi-order shipping) and therefore being able to cut the cost of shipping in half compared to a small flat rate box.

Graded cards I do in small bubble mailers and then put them inside a medium bubble mailer.
Sets or multiple graded cards I put in either small Beckett boxes or large Beckett boxes that I get back from them when I have graded cards.
