How did you protect the cards, and did you have to fill out a customs form (my personal pet peeve)? I've been sticking to the international forever stamps and a PWE lately.

I just sent 33 cards including a 5x7 in a 5x7 photo mailer (the stuff cardboard kind) It was $3.12 which I thought was a decent price. I’m betting you could get another 10-15 cards in there. Hopefully Karsal can let us know if they arrive in one piece.

I put them in 9-pocket pages cut up in 2x2. The customs form is no big deal to fill out. I simply put 1 item (baseball card set) put a value on it - to Canada I haven't found it adds anything on the postage side, but I'm not sure about their end.

Yeah I did 9 pocket pages cut into 3 card strips. They were a touch long. Commishs idea would probably be better

Hey all live from the highway in Montana just north of Great Falls, trying for Nevada west side tonight. Chuck does it an awesome way and have never had an issue. As for sports cards, ZERO duty and if anything we get stuck with GST on value. Trust me I’ve done my due diligence!!!! LOL
