Protecting Oversized Helvault Cards

Post by notsofasteddie » Sun Nov 11, 2012 8:04 pm

I've got some oversized helvault cards that I need to ship. I've been looking for sleeves and hard case toploaders that would be the right size. So far I've come up empty at the local gamer and hobby stores.

Any suggestions or alternative solutions?

I don't know how fast you want your toploaders, but BCW has a very wide variety. Something like this might fit:

I have a bunch from when I collected the Upper Deck All Star patch cards. They are basically oversized top loaders. I can send you some at no charge, lmk how many you need.

I have these sleeves. I like them a lot better than the previous variety of UltraPro sleeves because you load the card on the short side, not the long side. Makes them a lot more secure. Granted, you're just wanting to ship with them, but in the longer term, they are better overall.

just use a DVD mailer? I'm sure they would fit inside a dvd case or something similar.

I would say to use a photo mailer, but chances are they would still get bent by the post office.

I have received a couple in the plastic toploaders inside a DVD (I think) mailer and the whole setup looked pretty sturdy. No bends.
