I typically spend about 10-15 minutes packing your book in multiple layers of protection in a cardboard box. You will spend a few moments getting it out, while being assured it arrived...DAMAGE FREE! **Please read my reviews on shipping if that is a concern.** I have been shipping at work and on e-bay for 7 years!! (I send out both raw and certified (Slabbed) books ONLY in cardboard BOXES and MULTIPLE layers of stuffing - NOT in an envelope sandwiched between 2 pieces of cardboard!!). Doing this I have to pay a little more in shipping which gets passed on to you, but you get the EXACT book you bid on in my auction.
