[Ryo1549]

So I get this package today.

Looks like a normal envelope...im like ok kewl what did i get?

Inside I pull out this...

Sure ok. Maybe I got a payment, it doesn't feel thick.

Envelope inside the paper. No problem No thickness at all so i figure yeah money order.

Another envelope inside of an envelope....I see green? Doesn't look like money.....

Principle alone.

I have to agree, no excuse for that.

 

[sffanmike25]

Ouch, I'm shocked it made it without being bent.

However, nice pickup!

 

[Ryo1549]

I haven't decided what to do yet. I am still shocked the damn card is undamaged.

It's one of those sticky situations. Do you leave a negative to force him to start shipping the right way or at least warn others, or do you just look at it as "well it arrived safe and on time".

 

[ffgameman]

That is hilarious.

I guess he wanted to protect the card but didn't know the correct way. :lol:

 

[jeff550]

To me it looks like it's someone who isn't 'clued-in' to this hobby. At least they tried to pad it somewhat and didn't just throw it in a PWE. If it were me, I'd leave a positive since the card arrived undamaged. I'd also send the seller a message informing them of how this way of shipping leaves it vulnerable for damage and let them know of the proper way to ship cards.

Good to see you got it undamaged though. BTW, nice card!

This seems like the best method. It's quite possible that somebody is just selling off cards from stuff they collected long ago, not knowing exactly how one should properly protect them.
