sellers...here is how you shouldn't pack and ship

[Cactuspies]

Now I'm a buyer and a seller online. I've received my share of cards wrapped in TP/newspapers/paper towel, no sleeves, no top loaders, no team bags, all sorts of tape and other packing materials.

This one is a first for me.

5 cards, all autographed.

2 chrome and 3 platinum

They were all pictured individually and it's a HUGE ebay seller and pretty well known and I am a repeat customer from some time ago.

if it's hard to see, the 2 chomes are in one softsleeve and one toploader, the 3 platinums are in 1 sleeve and 1 toploader with broken tape at the top. They were in a team bag so there was that. I'm going to wait until I get home before taking them out to see what if any damage there may be.

Still better than how I got a card once... no penny sleeve, no card saver / toploader, just put in a #10 envelope. Actually arrived in good shape though.

I can see your complaint b/c the one card looks damaged from the pic but I have received cards like that before, granted they were base I needed to complete a set. Sending autos like that like is kinda crummy and lazy.

I don't mind sending/recieving multiple cards in 1 topload, but all need penny sleeves, plus, I put fillers on the outside front and back of the toploader, add team bag and tape the teambag securely so the topload won't allow cards to slip out the top. No real complaints on that yet. Bad not to put penny sleeves.

I received an auto /60 (that is basically a 1/1 since most of the inscriptions were different) a couple years ago in a HUGE priority mail envelope w/ NO protection at all. Just sliding around in the cardboard for the whole transit. Needless to say there were some surface scratches and a bit of corner damage. I contacted the seller and he got all pissy and refunded me and told me to keep it and acted like I was making it up. I wasn't, but was happy to get the refund. I wouldn't be too upset to at least get them in toploaders and team bags, but good luck! Hopefully nothing is too damaged.
