If you sell cards PLEASE don’t do this!!
Posted by KJXploR on August 1, 2026 at 2:50 pmGosh I HATE getting regular ol’ Scotch tape on a top loader! I hate it when Panini sends cards out like that and I hate it when individual sellers do it.
For the love of all things collectible-card-related please use painter’s tape and not Scotch/cellophane tape (or regular ol’ masking tape either).
Thank you!

Yeah its the most annoying thing! Thankfully I have a lot of extra top loaders but still
-
I end up throwing away those top loaders because the tape is just impossible to get off!
-

when i first sold on ebay i learned from tht but as the time went by i noticed how sticky and residue if the tape it leaves behind so i use painters tape from walmart idk if thts the same issue lol
-
The scotch tape WILL NOT come off without way too much work. Painters tape is SO much better.

Oh I had a fun one I had to complain about on eBay. Wemby rookie, listed as mint, all pictures in a one touch. Then I get it and it’s in a top loader, no penny sleeve, bend on back of, was shipped in a plain white envelope even though it cost over $19.99, and there was a crumb stuck to the card. I ended up just taking a partial refund because I didn’t want to deal with sending it back and everything. Was pretty annoyed
-
That is pretty wild! Glad you got some money back though!
-
Yeah if it was like one problem I could over look it, people have bad days, but the fact there were so many things wrong was just frustrating.
-
Holy cow! That takes the cake (IF it was a cake crumb lol). At first I thought maybe a new seller but the seller knew which photos to post to get the sale
-
Oh yeah one or two things is forgivable cause like you said stuff happens but thats wild

use painters tape or use a team bag.. i know some who even hate the painters tape. im guilty of using it
-
What would you use instead of painter’s tape? Like an art tape that has hardly any adhesive?? I like the team bag because it protects if the envelope gets wet. But if it’s an inexpensive card I don’t expect as much as when I pay more.
-
Team bags are good to use. Or could do the card protectors for shipping they have
-
good question i think if no tape then those card protectors like ding defenders and such. but i would use team bag thats nice and snug. that way card doesnt slide out and still stays in top loader.

I’m very much Team “Team Bag”. It’s a bit wild when some of the big consigners or even Topps and Upper Deck just send a card along in just a toploader and a bubble envelope. It’s a miracle some of these cards even make it in one piece!
-
Amen! I’m still astounded that Panini sends instant cards with scotch tape on the top loader! Even cards that cost hundreds of dollars
