That's what was so surprising about my copy paper shipment. A piece of paper made it clean across the country without tearing!

If the side edges are taped up, I see no reason it should get caught in automated sorting machines. That's why I fully tape up the side edges when I mail my voting official a request for a mail-in ballot -- it's a piece of paper printed out, form filled out, paper folded in half, stamped and taped up for mailing.

If the side edges were not taped up, I could see the potential for the paper to snag in a sorting machine, tear and need a USPS body bag to try to return the remains to the sender or receipient.

As for another post about a card taped to a 3x5 card, I may have to try that as I'm curious if it would be hand sorted or machine sorted. If it shows up in my daily mail scans, I know it was machine sorted as hand-sorted items don't get scanned and sent to me.

Here's my response to such shipping.

Can you please not use black text on blue background. Hard on my eyes! ;)

I have to wonder what those shippers normally ship. Are they normally crap and trash sellers that occasionally sell trading cards
or are they ones that sell trading cards all the time and should know better? I usually find some of my worst shipments are from
those that deal mostly in crap and trash, not baseball cards.
