Protect your collectibles:
Put comic books into bags and boards. Then, wrap your books in bubble wrap and secure with reinforced packing tape.
Place cards into protective sleeves. Then, place each card in a semi-rigid sleeve. The sleeve you choose must be sturdy enough to allow us to remove the card safely. Put all of your cards in between two cardboard pieces that are larger than the cards. Secure the cardboard pieces with rubber bands.
For video games and home video collectibles, wrap each collectible in bubble wrap ensuring that you are not putting too much pressure on the item. Do not use tape on the bubble wrap.
If you are shipping multiple collectibles, please place them in the order in which they appear on the submission form packing slip. (Failure to do so will result in delays.)
Pack in a sturdy cardboard box, ensuring the wrapped collectible(s) are not packed too tightly. Use additional bubble wrap to pad the collectible(s) within the box to prevent sliding. Important: If packed too tightly, the collectible(s) inside may be damaged if mishandled.
After placing your packing slip(s) in the box along with the collectible(s), use packing tape to completely seal the outside of the box.
For extra confidence in packing, place the cardboard box in an additional box and place bubble wrap or padding around each side.
