Well, you see, when folks talk about how much a sports card weighs, it ain’t too heavy at all. Most of them little cards, like baseball or basketball ones, they weigh less than an ounce. I’d say somewhere between 0.05 to 0.1 ounces is about right. It’s a feather, I tell ya!
Now, if you got one of them thicker cards, like those fancy jersey cards, they might go a bit heavier, around 1.0 to 1.2 ounces sometimes. Depends on what kind of card it is, you know? Those are the ones that make ya go, “Whoa, this feels like something!”
If you’re shipping these cards, which a lot of folks do, you gotta think about how you pack ’em too. A normal sports card in a toploader— that’s the hard plastic thingy that keeps your card safe— it might weigh about 6 ounces with the whole package and everything. But if you just got the card sitting pretty in a bubble mailer, it could be anywhere from 1 to 3 ounces, depending on how you send it off.
Let’s break it down, shall we? Here’s what I know:
- Regular card weight: 0.05 to 0.1 ounces
- Jersey cards: 1.0 to 1.2 ounces
- Raw card in a toploader: around 6 ounces
- Raw card in a bubble mailer: 1 to 3 ounces
Now, if you got a whole bunch of these cards, it can add up quick-like. When you’re thinking about sending off a big collection, you better have a scale handy. Weigh them all together and see where you land. If you’re just trying to figure out one card, it ain’t gonna weigh much at all.
For those who are curious about grading and what not, a graded card usually weighs a bit more. When you send it off in a bubble mailer, it can hit around 2 to 3 ounces. It’s like sending a little treasure, I tell ya! But if you’re just keeping it in your collection, it won’t feel like much at all.
So, to wrap it up, sports cards are light as a breeze. If you ever got a scale and wanna weigh ‘em, you’ll find they don’t add much to your postal fees. Just don’t forget to pack ‘em nice and safe, or you might end up with a crumpled mess, and nobody wants that!
Happy collecting, y’all!
