Good Deals on Sports Card and Mailing Supplies
January 5th, 2009 | Published in General Collecting Info
I’ve settled on a few eBay sellers for sports card and mailing supplies, and I thought I’d pass them on. Columbia Sports Card has all the card holders, pages, cases, and bags you can imagine, and their prices on Card Saver 1′s and Card Saver 2′s are the best I’ve found.
ShopFamilyFun has great deals on bubble envelopes–they’re way cheaper than Office Max and the like. Some other places on eBay sell thin envelopes that seal poorly, but those that ShopFamilyFun sells are high quality.
Finally, since postage keeps going up, it’s nice to save a buck here and there on stamps. For this I sometimes buy discount postage and use that on my bubble envelopes. Discount postage is just old stamps in denominations that are no longer commonly used. (I am not a stamp collector, but I assume discount postage is to stamp collectors what “modern crap” is to card collectors.) Since postage for bubble envelopes typically adds up to odd amounts, anyway, a few of the old stamps will work just fine. And they’re fun to look at, just like old cards.
