Need advice on shipping 100 card sets please

Hello all,

I was hoping someone could give me some advice on shipping some base sets in the mail. I have about 10-12 base sets of 08 elite football I'm gonna get rid of on the bay whil I can still get a whopping $5 each for. I was wondering what is the best way to ship such a quantity without damaging the cards to terrible? But yet I don't want to pay a ton for shipping. Any help would be appreciated!!!

I'd put them in 300 or 400 ct boxes, then place them inside a flat rate box if your looking to sell them all in one lot.

Yeah....I was thinking about selling them all in 1 large lot of 10, but I'm trying to decide if I'd make a couple more bucks selling seperately.

You'd probably make a little more serpately.

Use a 100 ct plastic box and put this in a 200 or 300 ct cardboard box. This will allow for sufficient padding. Cost should be about 3-3.50 for 1st class.

I used a 100 count card board box and then snap foam peanuts in half to protect the corners.
