I would use USPS registered insured for anything this valuable, box in box, extra peanuts or bubble wrap.

Some supply company (such as the one that produces Pelican cases) should make a high-end graded card mailer.

Strong enough I could stand on them. When worked in industrial stuff I regularly shipped boxes about the size of a large flat rate that were in the 50lb range. I usually try to pack as if one or more of my old packages will be on top of the one I'm sending out. I'm more lax on my usual stuff which is mostly well under $50 |

Personally, I've had two instances where cards I bought on ebay have arrived damaged. One was a PSA 4 T206 Southern Leaguer with damage very similar to the Cobb in the OP, except that the slab was broken in half horizontally, putting a crease across the middle of the card. I contacted the seller, and he refunded my money to me, and I returned the card to him.
The other was a 1933 Sport Kings Red Grange PSA 2. With it, we were extremely lucky, as even though the slab was broken apart diagonally in the lower-right, across the card itself, the card somehow suffered no further damage. I submitted it to PSA for regrading, and it got the same grade, and I still have it. Steve

Wow. Awful to see. My last USPS baseball shipment came completely destroyed and with no contents. Not sure which is worse.

The Mays is already at an ironic $660 with 8 days to go. How much are two halves of a RC worth?
