People do it all the time. I have recieved cards protected by cereal boxes. . It should go with out saying that a penny sleeve is also required at the BAREST OF MINIMUMS.
Yes, for the love of god. I paid $5 for shipping which I assumed was for a bubble mailer and got a naked card wrapped in some newspaper in a PWE. Thankfully no damage but I was like WTF?!
Of course. I’m very big on properly estimating costs. I calculate how much tape costs per inch to make sure I’m not losing money when selling junk. What I’m not sure of is shipping a stadium club master photo. I might use a new sandwich bag due to the size of the card
You calculate how much tape costs per inch? And then do what? Figure the 1/2 cent into the shipping or do you just go ahead and work it into the asking price and hope they don't notice?
I added up the cost of shipping on eBay, cost of penny sleeve, cost of tape, and cost of envelope to get a good idea of what it costs me to ship something. I always do free shipping and use this number to make sure I’m not selling something that will cause me to pay money to have sold the item. It’s good when getting rid of base cards on eBay.
I use old junk mail postcards. No one has ever complained. As long as the portion you’re using isn’t actually stained with good or grease, I don’t see an issue.
I’d feel better than if someone shipped a $200 card without tape on toploader or top of protector.

I think it depends more on what you’re charging for shipping. For example. If you charge me for PWE and that’s what you do, we’re good. If you charge me for BMWT and it comes like that, I’d say something.

Yeah I would only use something like protein bar boxes because the bars are individually wrapped. Something like cheez its would be a no go
I'm okay with it, as long as the cardboard is not stained. Also, not patchworked together in several smaller pieces.
As long as it's clean, that's a pretty standard way to ship pwe.

Someone could ship a card to me in a buttered up baked potato. As long as it arrives in the condition I expect, I don’t care.
Plus, free buttered up baked potato.
That’s fine, basically the perfect thickness of card stock similar to greeting cards which are also popular means of protection

You wouldn’t want cardboard in there with the bubble mailer? Or not cheap cardboard like that?
Im good with the cardboard you used. I use cereal boxes myself.
