Thanks for all of the messages folks....a special thanks to Peter Spaeth. His last comment was spot on. I can't say a lot at this time other than after MUCH discussion with Fanatics legal department and presentation of all my evidence (and with the threat of legal action against them as the party responsible for delivery) we mutually agreed on a credit (NOT a refund) to my Fanatics account in the amount of the purchase price. I felt that was a good deal for both parties. It saved me the cost and hassle of a civil suit. I'm not sure if Fanatics will go after Fedex and at this point or just eat it and frankly, don't give a shit. The card was decertified by PSA. I'm sure the card is out there either in raw condition or regraded by PSA or BGS. I've stopped trying to look at every card for sale or up for auction to see if it matches mine. From NOW ON I am having all Fedex packages held for pickup. This has been a real eye opening lesson for me and I thank everyone for their helpful comments (especially about experiences with Fedex "signature confirmation" ).
Regards,
Russ
