I had to put that previous reply first before I told you my opinion of the rest of the thread. Here's why:
As you can see in my signature, I refuse to do PWE's too. Every PWE I've ever sent or received was totally screwed up. Either the cards were stolen from the envelope or the cards in the envelope were completely crushed and bent. Discard that thought for PWE's to Canada though. Somehow those made it fine, but the ones inside the US never made it safely. Most of those PWE's were freebies where I was just sending cards to help someone complete a set or something similar. I lost the cards and the money and it wasn't even a deal with someone!
SO... I only ship with tracking now in at least a bubble mailer. That has been my stance for over a decade and I've never had a problem with any packages in trading, selling or buying. Notice the "joined" dates of all the other members that replied to this thread and look at mine. I'm not saying these other members don't know what they are doing, just that they haven't been on the most fantastic trading card database site ever created and I've been here quite a while now. The site has changed a lot over the past few years and makes everything easier to deal with each other. It's rare that someone here would try to rip you off, but you just said you lack the knowledge of the current market. That WILL lead to someone trying to take advantage of you. You have some nice cards listed in your traders and they could get you some decent money. I'd hate to see you let them go for way less than you should.
PM me... I'd love to chat more. I've been collecting cards almost non-stop since 1987 and I collect all kinds of other stuff too. I've been trading cards through the mail and internet since about 2006 with well over 1500 transactions done since then. BTW, many of my "transactions" are monster trades with hundreds of cards going each way. This site shows many members with several hundred trades completed or feedbacks, but so many of those are JUST PWE trades of a few cards only. Most of my trades here are 50+ cards each way and several are over 1K total cards changing hands.
NO PWE's EVER!!! PLZ PM me 1st before sending any offer. ONLY selling cards as of March 2024. No trades or purchases right now.
