I just sent 88 cards in a big trade and I used the hard plastic 50 card holders and was just informed that when the package was received only 30 of the cards were good, the rest were damaged. Kind of boggles my mind because they were shipped tight and very secure.
For singles I always use penny sleeves, top loaders, team bags, and bubble mailers. I try not to use tape unless absolutely necessary because I can't stand taped top loaders lol.
For large trades like that, sometimes I'll go ahead and get a 100-ct. box from my LCS. Other times, if I elect to use a holder like the one you did, if there's any space for them to move around, I'll put some folded up bubble wrap or a styrofoam peanut, just something to keep them from sliding around. Those big trades can be tricky! Hopefully the other person understood.
