I recommend

YMT: Excellent
Vasbear: Very Prompt
Dragon Link: Good Trader, was kind about me being a little late because of school

BrianGabe is a fantastic trader. He made me an extremely generous trade offer, shipped very quickly and traded me cards that are absolutely mint. He's a true class act.

Looking at the grading list at the top of this thread, I would suggest adding a new grade called "gem mint" to the top of the list.

For reference see:
http://pages.ebay.com/buy/guides/graded-sports-cards-buying-guide/

Obviously Redemption cards do not grade out the same way as sporting cards, as noted in the initial grading list in this thread.  However, it appears that the meaning of "mint" is still somewhat unclear, and that perhaps a truly perfect card needs the highest of the high grades.

Thanks for the plug, Justin.  ;)

I try to do the best I can...just glad I can help my Redemption friends out!  Helping you, helping me...it's a win-win.  Happy customers are my goal...as is not letting my cards collect dust; I'd rather put them to good use instead.  ;D

I am revisiting this thread because I have received two trades in recent weeks with Postage Due. A few cents here and there is one thing, but this is seriously getting ridiculous. Please take your package to the Post Office if you are trading more than four cards.

You can not send a whole bunch of cards in a regular white envelope for one stamp.

I've been shipping in bubble mailer for the extra protection, shur it may cost a little more loose change, but is well worth the peace of mind. They are considered Parcel Post so they don't get shoved through size slots. They weigh em, put postage on em and into the box they go for your delivery pleasure.

Godspeed,

Re: POSTAGE INFO~PLEASE READ!!!

For 1-5 cards, I am able to ship with two cards in the semi-rigid top loader and the rest in a soft plastic sleeve taped to the top loader (with a 1/2 sheet of paper wrapped around the whole thing) for the postal minimum (42 cents now).

Anything over five cards (or exceptionally expensive orders, like two FSPs or something) and less than 50 usually calls for the bubble mailer.  If you buy the stock bubble mailers that they sell in stores or post offices, it can run you a pretty penny.  The best way to get around this is to buy:

1) medium sized manila envelopes w/butterfly tabs (similar in size to the stock bubble mailers; can be that cheaper store brand, I got mine at Staples)
2) a roll or two of regular bubble wrap (can be that cheaper store brand as well, I got mine at Wal-Mart)

Then all you have to do is grab a scissors, cut the bubble wrap to fit the envelope (piece on top, piece on bottom, cards go in the middle).  A little Scotch tape also helps keeps things together...and the cards centered in the package, helps keep them protected.

For 50+ cards, it's usually best to upgrade to a hard cardboard box, and packing peanuts (if ya got 'em, use em...and boy to I have plenty). :)
