500 Pack Shell Mailer Trading Card Envelopes by Hobby Armor
These envelopes are quite simply THE BEST. I know I know you are doing fine with your PWE (Plain White Envelope) or your bubble mailer. If you primarily sell singles or a few standard-sized cards, these things make life so easy.
I used to: put the card in a top-loader. Back the top-loaded card with hand-cut cardboard. Put in a 7 x 5 padded envelope. That was fine.
This is better. SO MUCH better. I get consistent comments from happy buyers regarding how safe their cards were shipped. These envelopes are flexible enough to run through the postal machines, yet rigid enough to offer support. I buy the 500 pack and it is money very well spent.
Fuxury Black Bubble Mailers 4x8" - 200 pack
While I am converted to using Shell Mailers for individual cards, when I have bulk purchases or have to pack a WhatNot order, I rely on these 4x8" bubble mailers. They are rugged, easy to use. The little plastic strip is easy to pull off. These have never let me down.
Top Loaders
I have been on what feels like a lifetime hunt for cheap top loaders that are also high quality. I am a repeat buyer of these top loaders. They come with the same amount of penny sleeves. They are sturdy and don't feel cheap like their counterparts. Buy with confidence.
Ambir nScan 690gt
This is a multi-purpose scanner, used in many doctor's offices to scan IDs. I find it to be a great little scanner for doing one-off scans. It's SUPER quick and comes with very easy-to-use software. As is the case with any vertical scanner of this type, it doesn't do a great job on refractors due to the mirror technology employed. But it does a super job otherwise. Highly recommend.
