Good morning everyone.

I have a question this morning. I bought an unscratched Andre Dawson redemption off eBay and the seller sent it to me in an envelope with no penny sleeve and no top loader. I know most people probably don't collect these but I do collect them and I won't scratch this one and I was upset when I received it in that condition. I was considering leaving a negative feedback but wanted to see if it is acceptable to send redemption cards this way first. Thanks everyone.

I should have taken a pic of the card this morning before I left my house but it is not "damaged" beyond enjoyable viewing condition but the corners are of course beat up from shipping.

Ugh, that's pretty obnoxious. I'm not sure it deserves a negative, probably neutral at most and definitely 1 star for shipping. Charging $3 for shipping implicitly says that the redemption will be shipped as would any other card, i.e., in a toploader and padded envelope. Interesting that the additional shipping fee per extra card is more than he spent on shipping yours.

It may be worth shooting him a note and asking for a refund on the shipping cost.


One other note: It could be argued that since he lists a lot of items (247 currently), he simply applied the same $3 shipping cost to all of them. However, a brief glace through them shows photos and mini helmets for sale with $10 shipping, a CD with $8 shipping, and a baseball with $9 shipping, so clearly he does pay some degree of attention to the variance between the costs of shipping different items. Generally speaking his shipping costs just seem high.

Thanks, I will send him a message first and see what he says.

A big city lawyer went duck hunting in South Louisiana. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing. The litigator responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field, and now I'm going into retrieve it."

The old farmer replied. "This is my property, and you are not coming over here."

The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the U.S. If you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you own."

The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we do things in Louisiana. We settle small disagreements like this with the Louisiana Three Kick Rule."

The lawyer asked, "What is the Louisiana Three Kick Rule?"

The Farmer replied. "Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, until someone gives up."

The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom. The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the city feller.

His first kick planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees where he immediately vomited. The geezer's second kick nearly ripped the man's nose off his face. The barrister was flat on his belly when the farmer's third kick to a kidney nearly caused him to give up.

The lawyer summoned every bit of his dark heart and vengeful will, managed to get to his feet, and said, "Okay, you old coot; now it's my turn."

The geezer smiled and said, "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."

Good morning all. [MENTION=4428]MrMet[/MENTION] thoughts and prayers but I'm sure all will be fine. [MENTION=10405]Hawk8[/MENTION] I'd ask for a shipping refund but you're not redeeming that?

No I am not redeeming it. I like to have an unredeemed redemption, a redeemed one, and the actual card. You know how hard it is to get these redemption cards unredeemed? I will pick the actual card up when they start hitting eBay.
