packing idea, feedback wanted

idea is to minimize cost of shipping with small trades...

fold a 4x6 notecard in half
put redemption cards from trade in a thin plastic/playing sleeve
put a bonus card on either side of the trade cards in sleeve
use a "sticky note" folded in half and tapes to the top of the sleeve, to ensure the cards do not slide out
----reason, keeps the tape at the top of the sleeve from touching the top edge of card
tape the sleeved cards inside folded notecard

place folded notecard with cards inside an envelope, and use packing/strapping tape to ensure the envelopes seal cannot be opened without completely ripping the envelope

I usually just wrap the card in duct tape.

i was actually thinking along the lines of cheap rares, to emphasize the coolness of BONUS CARDS ::)

but do you guys think it's sufficient packing?

I usually place the cards in a top loader and then place that in a bubble-wrap envelope.

I don't have a place to buy top loaders, and everywhere I go online it seems that by the time i have them shipped to me each loader is $0.25+

Are you gonna be able to make it to any of our Hartland tournies soon? I got a bunch of top loaders from Ken that I'd be happy to share with you.

Okay. If I can figure out a cheap way of shipping some to you, would you want them?

top loaders? sure, definitely. I can't imagine shipping would be cheap though...
