Bobby did not get the Love Frank did

My T3 Bobby Wallace card made it here today from EBay Authenticators. This is number 2 , and I have two more T3’s coming. This one only took 8 days to get here, but the packing of a fairly expensive and collectible card was nothing like the T206 Frank I received yesterday.( see below)
It was wrapped in Bubble wrap, but the outer envelope was open on one end because the seal job on the outer envelope was , as we say down here, “cattywaumpus”. In fact, the flap was so askew , it was stuck to the bubble wrap, hence the open area.
The QR code sticker was unceremoniously placed randomly on the bubble wrap,which makes the warning on it “VOID IF DAMAGED” all the more delightful.
You can see in the photo, I rescued it and placed it on the card that was put on top of the bubble wrap.
Luckily , Bobby made it unharmed, and for that, I’m grateful.
But why the disparity in packing. Frank arrived as if he was in the stately sarcophagus of King Tut, where Bobby arrived, as I said “cattywaumpus”. I’ve seen fish in newspaper better packed.
All of the above is said in jest and for fun, the card got here in a relatively decent time and it was unharmed in transport, although , as in his playing career, Bobby got no respect…..even as a HOF.
I’d love to hear from anyone else who has gotten T3’s from them and how they were packaged and sent.
As for Bobby, I’m sure he will be fine once positioned in his new home amoung his fellow Deadballers.

As long as it gets to me safely I don't really care how they pack it or ship it. But they could be a bit more consistent.

More consistent , definitely , and in this case , at least seal it up properly. It looked like a 4th grader did it blind folded. I could put my finger in and touch the card before opening it. When I send something I over tape and seal it, then you’ll have no problems.
I really thought they would have a larger size blue box to accommodate the larger cards. But as you say Leon, as long as it gets here in one piece.

Made me laugh with your words
I always rely on boxes priority box

This is who I picture doing the packaging there:

You nailed it Timothy……how did you find him, Senior Cattywaumpus in the flesh!

Thanks. If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy. ;)

I think the OP is overreacting and just needs to chill.

Said “ in jest and for fun”, no chillin’ necessary.
But bad packing is bad packing.
