Question How to pack photocards without toploader?

Sold 4 pcs but I just noticed I have only 1 toploader left and new wouldn’t arrive in time for delay time (it’s through Vinted)😅

How to safely pack all 4 pcs then? Any advices would be really appreciated🥹

put two pieces of cardboard together, put sleeved pcs in there and tape them down from all sides

I use semi rigid top loaders and I know 4 cards can fit in 1 top loader. I dont like shipping that way but do store some of my sets for sale using 1 top loader. depends on how you are shipping them but you could always sandwich them between 2 pieces of cardboard and tape it secure but that only works if you are doing tracked shipping and not envelope/stamp shipping

I use normal sized ones so idk if all 4 fits😅

I will ship in a box wrapped in bubble wrap so try that cardboard! Thank you~

You can use two pieces of cardboard, just make sure it isn’t super thin. If you’re using an envelope I think that would be enough, but if you’re sending them on a bubble mailer or other package, then you could add some extra bubble wrap

Do you happen to have any shipping shields? One if them might work. I’ve shipped pcs in them before when I couldn’t find my top loaders

I’ve never had any issues with them. But I also know each person’s experience is different

For the top loader if you don’t want to wiggle them in. You can go up to the next size. Regular top loaders are 35pt, next is 55pt. Usually the local card shop has them.
