The Azdbacks1998 Revghost Player Collection Card Thread

You should see the condition my Beckett arrives in every month. Last month it was missing the front cover, but somehow the idiots knew where it went. You know it had to have the cover to make it to my post office, so either it was torn off at the PO or my route driver did it to spite me. The dumbass crammed my whole streets mail into my box today. I'm the next to last house on my street. I waited on him to come back by and he wouldnt even stop. So, I carried my oxygen tank in one hand and delivered the mail for my entire street. Took over an hour. It kills me, the more money people make, the lazier they get. And they just dont give a crap what anyone thinks. No wonder USPS has the financial problems that they have. Yes, raising postal rates is the solution. Not! Try evaluating personnel and service for the real answer to the problems.

Thanks, Jerry. Carrier Pigeon!! No, that card came in a bubble mailer. I don't get what happened, I mean that postal worker must have really cranked on that thing.

Funny thing is, Ive been told that anything bigger than a letter goes thru a different machine. But, I'll bet my house they ran it thru the letter machine. You know how many times Ive watched them take my packages and just toss them into the received box? They'll ask me if its fragile, then stamp it as hard as they can with the "fragile" stamp and just smile the whole time. It's time to privatize the mail system or do away with it completely. I'm sure after this rant, I'll be red flagged in their system again. My packages will start being missent or disappearing alltogether. One package sent to me last week went to Little Rock, then instead of coming to Conway, it goes to Rogers, then back to Little Rock, Fayetteville, Little Rock, and finally to Conway. Nothing like waiting 2 weeks for 2-3 day priority mail. It's ok USPS, I managed to survive without my meds for 2 weeks!

I'm going to bed before I really get mad!

USPS strikes again!

Notice the creases across the middle. The toploader was curved in the middle. And yes, it was in a bubble mailer.

After USPS

Wow, wtf, USPS?!?!

Here's mine for today, this one was not mangled by them thankfully:

Awesome Matt!

The seller was nice enough to refund my money, even though I didn't believe it was her fault or asked for a refund. I have a 1/1 coming in a few days. Free shipping, so I begged the seller to make the pwe/bubble mailer as rigid as possible and to mark it as fragile. Hope this helps.

That's great, Jerry! I'm bummed because finding another is going to be a bitch, seems like refractors from 2010 platinum are hard to come by, this was the first red one I've seen on the Bay.

[jwgreen68]

I'm anxiously awaiting today's mail to see what's damaged. I'm expecting an oversized box topper, so there's a prime opportunity for destruction right there.

I'll keep an eye out for another one of those 2010's.

I didn't find it on the bay, but I found it on comc.com.

And 1 from ebay that managed to make it undamaged

[revghost]

Great adds Jerry!! Yeah, I've seen the one on COMC, I'm gonna hold out, that price tag is a tough pill to swallow right now. To think I had one for under 7 bucks, dammit. Oh well, here's the one seven dollar add I have for today, and this one was not damaged, thankfully.

Thanks! You too!

Yesterday I passed the 17,000 unique Pujols cards mark! Excluding 1/1's, I only need 1 - 2002 card to have that year complete. The missing card is 2002 Topps 206 Sweet Caporal Black #347.
