I would ship it in another box, surrounded by newspaper or some sort of padding/protection.

That is how I have shipped a 3200 count box.

One of those large flat rate mailing boxes will hold about 3300 cards, I recently just stuffed one with that many, and costs a little over $10 to ship. Not sure if it is cheaper to mail a comparable size box parcel post.

Go to your post office and get a large Priority Mail flat rate box (they're free and are 12"x12"x5.5"). See if all of the cards will fit in there since it only costs $14.50 to ship up to 70lbs (that many cards will be heavy). Even if lined w/ bubble wrap, all of those base cards might fit. As long as your recipient can live without the 3200 ct box, that's what I'd do.
EDIT- what Rickzcards said.

Except I thought it only costs around $10 to ship, I must be thinking of the medium flat rate box fee.carlitoson said:Go to your post office and get a large Priority Mail flat rate box (they're free and are 12"x12"x5.5").

Cut strips of cardboard to fit within the tops of the card slots...also make sure the cards are upright with styrofoam or some other filler keeping them from sliding within the slots. Tape the box...ship, padded, within another box.
