1.5 in my opinion

True. If I get 9.4 or higher I will be ahead money wise but that’s not really why I did it. It was my first comic purchase as a collector so it will be a keeper. I’ll post up the results once it comes back. 

Congrats with great purchasing

I'm assuming you want to ship them flat and not rolled, right? With prints and (relatively inexpensive) original art (the expensive stuff gets a proper box) I usually put the art in a plastic sleeve (original art sleeve if you have them, if not you can assemble your own by creatively cutting the sides of magazine bags ahen then assembling them with tape) and then sandwich it between two Regional Rate A boxes (using painter's tape to affix the sleeved art to one of the boxes). I then slide this art sandwich into a Priority 1095 box, or a medium flat rate box, whichever I have handy, until it is snug and secure in the middle, leaving the ends of the larger box open. Then I tape the ends of the outer box. This is the cheap/fast solution, as all of those supplies are available for free from USPS. This is the part where someone probably comes in and says you aren't supposed to use USPS supplies like that. I've been doing it this way for many years, and have never had an issue. YMMV. 

This makes a pretty sturdy sandwich which is pretty difficult to bend.

Otherwise, for pricey stuff, I'd use foam board or masonite for the sandwich, and then use a proper box. If I don't have any extras laying around from CLink, sometimes Amazon will send stuff in nice, long, flat boxes that also serve the purpose. I'm sure there are boxes out there made specifically for this, but I don't deal in art often enough to buy them in bulk. 

Good luck!

 I see what are you talking about. I buy a lot of things at Amazon and use the approved Amazon service provider https://clearitusa.com/. I've got all my packages good looking without damages. And also I like client servise of this company. Maybe my experience wold be usefull for someone else there.
