Same with consignors who get checks and don't cash them for weeks or months.
Some folks have other things to do, or assume since they have the box/check in hand there is no rush to do further.

I actually won a T3 card from LOTG in the winter 2015 auction and didn't get to see the card until over three months later. The box sat unopened at my house because my trip to visit relatives for a few weeks (which started days before the auction ended), turned into a 3 1/2 month trip when I was needed to help out with driving people to work after a family emergency. I ended up staying a little longer to go to Spring Training before returning home. So if there was a similar issue at that time, poor Al would have waited a long time to find out I had them.
He's a good guy, had him over one time to pick up some consignments and drop off some winnings.
