This /5 card is now a /4

Came in a shipment with 19 other cards. In my experience, when PWCC ships 20 cards, they are stacked in two stacks and wrapped. So I pulled the stacks out and threw the box full of peanuts out. It is now at the dump. With this card inside. So, for everyone, this is how PWCC will do it... sometimes (from PWCC):

"This item was a larger, non-standard-sized item so it was packaged separately from the rest of your items in your shipment. It was placed into a yellow bubble mailer, then placed inside a brown cardboard mailer and then placed inside of the 11x9x6 box along with your other items that were bubble wrapped."

So, if you order from PWCC, make sure you fish around like crazy in that box full of peanuts as if you are fishing for "a major award." Or dump the peanuts out? Then put them back in? LOL

And if you're thinking how did I not wonder where it was, I order from PWCC every week, so I didn't realize it was in that week's shipment.

It's still a /5,

Doesn't t the garbage disposal systems sort everything out...and if the card in encased, some employee may notice it as it goes through the trash assembly line.

Congrats?

[boxbuster7]

didn't you know a card was missing from the order?

Hey, Fisk, Rose and Ryan coulda been on the 80's side too!
Damn shame it's gone though, in all seriousness.

I knew I'd get someone saying, "AKSHUALLYYYYY..." LOL

I mention that in the original post.

mmmnaw. I was sharing to help others avoid this situation, not to ask for opinions or gain attention or sympathy. I thought that was clear, but maybe not.

[boxbuster7]

I mention that in the original post.

idk man. A card of that magnitude I personally would've known when it was coming in.

[NYBBFAN]

You can’t win by posting here. Sorry about the card.

Okay, so you can ignore my advice.

[boxbuster7]

I'm not ignoring it. I do sympathize for you. I've lost one card permanently before out of hundreds of thousands. A jeff teague 2009/2010 certified gold /25 RPA. I think one of my brothers friends stole it. If it was curry I would probably still be upset. It happens. Just move forward and I'm sure it won't happen again.

So my post comes across as me struggling to move on?

It's probably in some garbage man's hands

That would be awesome! LOL Better than it being gone! He gets to add it to his collection of "treasures." :D

Just another reason not to use pwcc

[base set]

That sucks, Original Poster. Nice looking out on sharing this sad experience though.

That Corbin Carroll Red that went missing might effectively be a /4 now, in terms of anyone ever trying to sell it.

[SupermanBrandon]

CHM!!!

[theplasticman]

Sorry man. That sucks.

[DynaEtch]

Man, sorry that sucks.

I will say, I've almost done the same thing with large COMC shipments. They ship in a big ol box full of packing peanuts and several white BCW 300-ish count boxes. One time I got all the BCW boxes out, and put the shipping box out in the trash...only to realize later I was short a few cards, and figured out they had them in a team bag lost somewhere in the packing peanuts randomly outside the white boxes. Luckily I noticed this before the trash went out. So check large COMC shipments carefully too.

Good tip! I've never had a shipment from COMC *that* big. I didn't even realize people still used peanuts LOL

[lemmer]

Man I’m sorry, that sucks. I’ve had mildly comparable situations but this is just a gut punch. Sucks.

[MoreToppsPlease]

Just another reason not to use pwcc

This deserves repeating

[BraveAtlanta]

If I knew that was coming, that would’ve been the first one I looked for. Dang RIP

[larry25]

I once threw out a Babe Ruth card. True story. It happens.

[Funkster]

I knew I'd get someone saying, "AKSHUALLYYYYY..." LOL
Got a chuckle out of this because it was definitely an inevitability.

THIS! Almost with certainty if your garbage service is taken to a waste transfer facility, an employee is now the proud owner of that card. I have seen this process many times on-site as I sell equipment into the waste transfer industry. Those guys wont even let a NERF football with spaghetti hanging off of it go to the dump -- I watched two of them play catch with it with noodles flying off every time they threw it back and forth.
