A bad ebay purchase turns out good in the end!

[jaderock]

Back in the middle of February I pushed a 2002 Upper Deck Triple Threat Gold Parallel of Fred Taylor/Mark Brunell and Jimmy Smith - you just don't see the GOLD Parallels ever especially the "T3's" because it's hard to do a title with all 3 names in it! By late March, I had to file a paypal claim before the 45 day deadline. He unwillingly sent me a refund, but I did get my money back.

Well today, May 13th, 77 days later, I finally get the package - with this sticker from the Post Office. I've done literally 4,000 transactions on ebay and still am finding out "new" errors by the PO. So #^*% REALLY DOES HAPPEN!!!

I also resent payment back to the seller.

Bottomline, as I told the seller long ago, I would rather have the card vs the money.

Have you ever received this before?!?


And the card of course - luckily not creased!

I had a card that was stuck in the feeders and the card was in a thick snaptite which was broke in 2. Got the card and what was left of the envelope inside a usps envelope explaining what happened. The card somehow survived not sure how they found my address. It was burned off

I have received about 10 or more packages where the envelopes/bubble mailers were ripped, crushed, or almost totally destroyed; placed into a clear post office bag w/ their logo; and they were included with a letter saying they were sorry.

Only 1 semi-damaged card...the rest were fine.

However, never had that sticker on any
(i have had random stickers...i know i have atleast 2 packages saved...I'll search for them later and letcha know what mine said - i think they just had the letter, though)

The PC gods were looking out for you.

Now if they could only find my Marcus Tubbs 04 Finest magenta press plate that ripped out of the envelope...

I had a AJ Feeley #1/1 Mirror Black Creased badly on the back with the snaptight crushed before.

"I'll make sure I package your card better" - Thank you...haha!

Here are two that I found. Both different than yours. They are both from envelopes (I couldn't find the bubble mailers...and I think I have more envelopes saved). The envelopes are still in these bags, but are facing the opposite direction.

~The one on the left (bag with blue writing), has an envelope that was stamped on Sept. 14, 2002. On the envelope, the seller wrote "Do Not Bend! Photos!"

~The one on the right (black ink), has an envelope that was not even stamped [a 37 cent stamp - i need to remember to peel that off, and buy a 2cent stamp to have a basically free shipment). On the envelope, the seller wrote "Do Not Bend"


-sorry for the bad pic, I didn't have good lighting, and the flash ruined it...

Therefore, if you send an envelope, write on the envelope "Bend This!" and it should arrive safely...?!? haha
