Great mail day ! With a sad note
This was the great part of my mail day ! Thanks to a member on here I obtained my 2 nd A rod auto..
Here is the sad not TAPE ! It came undone and the cards were all over in the mailer except the Jeter RC that stuck to the tape, it now has a nice spot of tape residue on it and sticks to the penny sleeve ... Again on a side note, if your tradeing with me and do not have team bags please pm me before mailing my cards and I will ship you some to mail my cards in !!!

Bummer, Jake! At least the sweet ARod auto takes the sting out of it.
Here's my 2 cents: if guys are in a pinch and need to ship but don't have a team bag, at least make a top to bottom wrap-around sleeve with a piece of folded paper secured with tape. Basically, like a sideways Kit Kat wrapper. -There's no need to mess up top loaders with tape on all four sides. (Not to mention the potential for damaging cards). The best route, of course, is to drop 2 or 3 bucks on a stack of team bags.
Always looking for Verlander, Cabrera, Maybin, Mike Stanton (marlins), and Avisail Garcia.

+1 I had to have my team bags shipped and I used to use tape until I seen the damaged that could happen on here. I have been really lucky so far. The bad thing is the tape came undone and the other cards got bent corners from flying around in the mailer. It was not a high $ trade or anything, but I am hopeing that if we keep posting the damage tape can do others will get it and stop using it in this way.
And yes the A rod took the sting out for me for sure !

I send trades out in old socks. Unwashed even.
Some people do need to lay off the tape, and booze.
Happy Valentines day to all your wives and girlfriends!
..... you folks too, I guess.

RE: Great mail day ! With a sad note
I don't always use team bags, I use painters tape. Its just as good and never hurts the cards.
