All cards are sent in plastic sleeves with backing in the envelope to help prevent damage through the mail.  Shipping is same day if payment is received by noon EDT and next day for payment arriving after noon. I will try my best to get your card to you as quickly as possible. Domestic shipping will be first class through Ebay with a tracking number except when the purchase is more than $20 which exceeds Ebay's limit.  In that event the card will be shipped first class in an envelope with no tracking.  As always, domestic shipping is free. International shipping is set at $2.
