On this bag was written the words, "WE CARE," followed by a letter apologizing for what happened to the parcel. On the parcel was also written, "RECEIVED OPEN WITH NO CONTENTS," by the Postal Manager. I was told by my friendly and solid USPS guy that what likely transpired was this: at the origination point, in the processing facility, some larcenous worker saw the package was marked as from eBAY and INSURED. He said this is often tantamount to writing STEAL ME on the package.
The seller was amazing and has agreed to a full refund upon receipt of the returned package; we spoke at length on the phone, and he could not have been more affable or quick to remedy the situation. That said, would be great to one day get the card. So on the slim chance anyone here sees it offered somewhere, please do not hesitate to let me know. I will alert the seller/owner in that event and see what we can do. Thanks...
Best,
Matt

THE EXACT reason whenever I sell a high dollar card, I don't put it in a bubble mailer. It goes into a USPS Priority Mail small flat rate box!! They are free and durable.
This sucks Matt, will keep an eye out.
