Wanting to send a friend some starnotes and wondering how to protect them from being damaged in the mail. I mean their circulated but I don't want them to be ripped or folded any further. Cheap solutions ? (Using cardboard, plastic, etc.)
Cardboard, put the notes in an envelope and then take that to the cardboard. That's how I shipped my notes, no problems.
Put them in a currency, then in one of these: They are about $0.10 a piece if you buy them in bulk on eBay, or about $1.50 each in Kinkos/CVS/Staples.
I sell mostly old photographs on eBay, but also a few notes now and then. Here's what I do: 1. Place the note in a currency sleeve 2. Sandwich between stiff cardboard that has been cut slightly larger than the note 3. Secure the cardboard with tape 4. Place in a bubble mailer and ship first class I've done this since I started selling in '98, and never had a single complaint. Maybe this is "overkill". but it works for me.
I use the corrugated cardboard-inside-an-envelope method, as well. Never had any problems, either shipping or receiving.
What the heck happened to my English? Put them in a currency sleeve and then in a rigid photo mailer that I posted a photo of.
