As collectors ourselves, we know the importance of receiving products in prestige condition. We ensure that all items in your order are packed thoroughly to avoid damage.
We use a mix of sturdy cardboard boxes, hex wrap*, bubble wrap and other various methods to ensure there is enough padding, protection and tape to get your cards in the best condition to you.
