New to card grading...a few rookie questions
I'm getting ready to send about 7 cards in to get graded. I know they ask for semi-rigid holders, but is it okay if I send the cards in a penny sleeve and top loader? Also, since I'm only sending in several cards, is a bubble mailer an okay way to package the cards? Thanks for any advice.

Do not send them in a bubble mailer. Send them in a box with lots of padding and bubble wrap!
They'll grade them in a toploader but just remember, they rattle in top loaders. Now I don't know what they do with the cards while they're in queue to be graded, but I'd like to think worst case scenario (as a precaution). Keep them as secure as possible.
