Those photo mailers from Amazon are the exact same ones I use. Thanks to C2Cigars for that inspiration because he once sent me cards using a photo mailer.

I don't send cards in PWEs but I'm probably going to add those Kraft envelopes with pocket pages to my mailing options. Thanks TripleLSupreme for that link!

I generally use semi-rigid 4½ x 6½" envelopes with two Card Savers that are the exact same height. I use wide penny sleeves for more that a couple cards in each holder. This works very well for most trades.

If there are more than fit comfortably, I will go the 9-pocket route.

I use non-machinable stamps for all of them. And I write it on the envelope.

This is what I do, too. I won't ship more than 12 cards in a PWE because it's just too thick and the odds of safe journey is much lower. I don't want the recipient to be unhappy and I don't want the hassle of a trade gone bad.

I like to ship my PWE trades in 9 pocket sheets with a little protection. I like to cut manila file folders down to use as protection. They are thin and light weight, and I think they provide more than enough protection for the low end trades.

Going to look into the Kraft envelopes.
