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.
