It's worth about $500 if that matters.

I have experience with this... very, very painful experience.
My Cracker Jack Branch Rickey card, that I bought for $1500, shipped from Canada and got held up in customs... the card was never found, and I haven't been able to find a deal even half as good as I had on that card!
Canadian brick and mortar stores have a habit of putting their company name on the packaging, which is a giant neon sign for thieves. When I buy from any store now I instruct them NOT to use their company name.
I noticed that Greg Morris has also stopped using their company name on all deliveries too, probably for that reason.
