I would like to know any suggestions to pack single comic?

These are non-cgc, I usually ship comic lots, these would each be shipped separately.

Do I double board the book then put cardboard over and under it?

thanks in advance.

Make an over-sized cardboard sandwich, tape the comic (bagged/boarded) to one of the sides so it can't shift, close the sandwich, tape it shut and wrap bubble wrap around it so it fits snugly into a box.

I put the book in a cardboard sandwich, secure with tape and then wrap the book with a piece of "plus" shaped cardboard that wraps around the sandwich into a tight box. I've never had a problem using this method. You essentially have a 5 layers of corrugated cardboard to keep the book from bending. I always use corrugated cardboard.

 

One day I'll get around to documenting it with pics.

 

doh!

I'd box it if its valued at anything north of $50 or maybe even $25. If postage is an issue you can always go media mail rather than priority. It's about the same cost as a envelope weighing 7 oz.
