I hang onto everything and certainly reuse pages, full or partial, to help send cards. I have noticed that not everyone uses double cardboard when trading (they use a single one or lighter paper), so I usually have to hoard pasta, tissue and cereal boxes at home and bust out a rectangle-cutting operation when needed.

I also try to reuse as many shipping supplies as possible, and have a plastic storage box where I keep everything. As for painter's tape, I stick any pieces that I salvage from received trades on the inside door of a cabinet, and peel them off when I need them.

I do try to re-use the supplies I get from my Topps on-demand orders, however, I don't sell much anymore so I either: i.) recycle what can ii.) throw out what can't. iii.) offer for free what parts I have saved which brings me to....

I have a bunch of plastic holders, about 6-8 cards, and 15-20cards.  These are the ones you get form the living set and topps now.  I am in Phoenix and work downtown in the late afternoons/evenings if anyone wants them.  I can ship but you'll have to pay for it.

Steaming stamps off and reusing is a bad idea i suppose?

I try to reuse as much as possible. I keep everything organized in a box so I can easily find it.  Occassionally, I will thin the cardboard down and get rid of some of the well worn/used ones with writing all over them.   

I save bubble mailers I don't know if I will ever use them they are just adding up in a box right now, would you write the address on paper and then tape the paper to the bubble mailer over the address? I guess. Maybe I will start to use them soon.

I currently have enough "reusable/recyclable" supplies to last at least the rest of this year. Plenty of cardboard from boxes as well in our cupboard/pantry upstairs too. Why pay for it when you already have it ???

I was thinking about this, it would be kind of cool to put your city on PWE cardboard reinforcement, and as it travels around, it gets filled up. You kinda get to see where it went...

I like that idea would be cool to receive.

Ok, good. I'm glad I now know I'm not the only one doing this. Haha. I save all the lightly used shipping material I can to reuse. It saves quite a few $'s tbh. For a person who relies on a monthly disability check, it makes a huge difference.
