I have been on eBay since 2001. I love buying and selling sports cards. The by-sport breakdown is 65% basketball, 30% football, lf, & 5% everything else. I do this as a hobby, not a living. Although I would love to pursue that someday, my wife will not even entertain the idea right now :). As you'll notice, the majority of what I sell is low-end, with some mid stuff mixed in there. Due to rising shipping costs and the fact that I sell low value type cards, as a rule of thumb any card I sell individually for under $20 I will send via the eBay Standard Envelope Shipping with TRACKING ($1.25). I put the card in a penny sleeve, then into a card saver type case or top loader, then into a team bag, and then tape it inside two thin pieces of cardboard; secondly- I much prefer to ship USPS Ground Advantage in a bubble mailer, if the card is over $20 or by request ($4.50). No up charges for combined shipping, all free. Thank you for visiting my eBay store.
