Is It Safe to Mail Comics and Cards?

Yes — most valuable comics and cards change hands by mail every day. The keys are good packing and proper insurance. Here's how both work when you sell to us.

packing that protects

  • Comics: bag and board, upright, snug, between stiff boards
  • Cards: penny sleeve and top-loader, small taped stacks, bubble wrap
  • Slabs: bubble-wrap each one; double-box valuable slabs
  • Sealed boxes: bubble-wrap so corners and wrap are protected
  • Original art: flat between foam boards, never rolled
  • Always a sturdy box with every gap filled

insurance and tracking

  • Every shipment uses a tracked, prepaid label
  • High-value insurance covers the full value in transit
  • If anything is lost or damaged, the claim is ours to handle — not yours

what we do on arrival

We open and check every item against your photos, then pay. If anything arrives different from what we expected, we contact you before paying — and if we can't agree, we send it back at our expense.
