Default Raise your hand if...

...you have ever received raw vintage cards from a seller that came with a rubber band directly upon the cards, like how people stored them in the old days.

No need to worry...the rubber band was looped around twice, thus ensuring that the cards remained lumped together during shipping.

Always look on the bright side of life, Brian. It could have been looped around all 4 sides. Or was it?

I banded them myself in the Sixties around a stack of T206 and E90-1. Of course decades later I had to remove the rubber bands when sending out. As a matter of fact, Brian, I know you have some of the latter

I think I would have had to pay an extra handling fee for that type of secure bundling of the cards.

Fortunately Paul did not use rubber bands when shipping those cards. He utilized scotch tape instead.

Brian (actually Paul shipped them under strict 21st century standards)

Luckily I've never gotten any that way. I had some people come in my shop with cards in rubber bands, but I never bought any of those (most were from the 1980s-1990s dead era). I haven't gotten any in the mail though.

Yup, it happened to me too. In 5th grade I gave my lunch money to my friend for his stack of Mets cards wrapped in rubber bands.

There was a dealer Bob Bostitch ? RIP who sold vintage cards in stacks held together in rubber bands. I bought singles from him in card savers, but never looked through his stacks.

No rubber bands, but I've gotten a LOT of raw cards between two pieces of cardboard ... and the cards slid around until the edges were stuck to the tape holding the cards together. In one spectacular case it resulted ina lot of paper loss on front.

Cheers,
Patrick
