Default USPS Thieves

Posted By: howard

I've had two cards that never made it to me. I never found out what happened to them but the guy I bought the '68 Seaver from reimbursed me through his stores insurance and the '62 Mantle was post office insured.

Someone pointed out that an insurance sticker on an envelope could make it a target for thieves. I don't doubt that at all. Along the same lines I would say that some return address labels can also make an envelope pretty tempting to a thief. If I saw a padded envelope w/a return label that said "Howard's Collectible Sports Cards" I'd sure be curious about what was inside. Perhaps a label w/a duller name such as "Howard's Paper Clips" would not present the same temptation.
