I'm fairly new to deckbox but I enjoy trading with people a lot, and have been loving using deckbox as a trade outlet quite a bit. I don't have a problem sending first until I get more feedback, but will also expect those with less to send first. As for packaging cards, I'm not a big fan of excessive tape/tape over the end of a toploader, so please avoid doing so if possible. That being said, I'm pretty flexible with trades, don't hesitate to propose something if I have things you need!
