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.
Large amount of common cards in trade: I use a plastic case to hold the cards, different sizes for different # of cards, making sure there is room at top for packing. I place a penny sleeve on bottom and then the cards and a penny sleeve of top and then styrofoam peanut, shut case and shake to make sure it can not move..if I hear cards move, more packing. Then I tape the plastic case with a folded top of tape for easy removal and then place the invoice around the plastic and into a bubble envelope. Have has good result in many, many trades..
