If the card is fine, what does it matter. Yeah it's a stupid way to ship, but if the card is fine, there is nothing to be upset about.

It's like the PWE debate and in this case it's worse. Yes the card arrived safely but why should he need surgeon skills just to extract his card safely? It's the principals of it.

I never understand this point of view.


To me it's like this... you're driving your baby home from the baby sitter's after a long day. Suddenly your car gets T-Boned. The other driver is staggering drunk. Your baby didn't get injured.


Do you say to yourself "That's OK to drive around belligerently drunk. My baby didn't get hurt."

No you do not. You get pissed because somebody did something stupid and it put your baby at risk.


A lot of collectors don't have kids, their high end cards are their babies. Don't put them at risk.

So i got in a fairly expensive card today $100+ and I open the packaging and the guy decided to wrap the card in bubble wrap ::facepalm:: didnt bother with penny sleeves or case.

The card arrived fine due to some precise cutting on my part cause the guy taped it all up in addition to the bubble wrap.

Would this bother you? or am i overreacting?

Its kinda like buying an electronic device and the batteries aren't already installed in the remote. They are there, in the package, seperately, but they aren't already in. You get the same effect. Everything is ok, just a little awkward........

That said, just don't buy/trade with the guy anymore. Nuff said.

You really think the batteries should come installed in the remote? Its not that hard to twist them out of the cheap plastic they come in and put them in the remote. You do have to use some brain cells to make sure you put them in the right way but it can be done.
They cram the remote in a cut-out slot in the styrafoam for shipping protection (which BTW can press some of the buttons down). Place something heavy on your remote before you go to bed tonight and let me know how it works in the morning. ::facepalm::

That isnt even a good analogy anyways. OP should definetly say something to the seller. I would be pissed regardless of value.
