The Professional Standard for Low-Dollar Trading Card Shipping
First Class Card Pro (FCCP) is the first commercially available end-to-end kit that lets a seller ship up to 6 trading cards per envelope via USPS's eBay Standard Envelope (ESE) service while remaining fully machinable. No cardboard scraps, no tape guesswork. Patent pending.
