What is the best method of shipping ~100 cards? I'm assuming it's a flat rate box with USPS? Also how would you go about packing the cards? What would you pack then in?

I've only had experience shipping 2-10 cards and that was easy with toploaders and bubble mailers

I usually put them in the boxes that come with fat packs and then slide them into a padded envelope. If i were sending international i would fit them into a larger padded envelope just to be safe. 100 cards isnt too many.

:P hope this helps.

It does thank you. I just checked and it's actually 52 cards. Do the cards need to be individually sleeved? Some are a few bucks and others are 40+. Also I'm thinking of trying to find one of those small cardboard card carrying boxes but I don't know where they can be found

Do you have a picture of what they look like? And where can you get them?

Something like this works but is heavier, then the deck boxes they are talking about.

hit a sports card store, they would have them.

I wouldn't sleeve every card personally, when shipping lots of cards I never do.

I would just slide the more expensive stuff into a toploader then tape them to the box. Just to be safe.
