"Missing Card" ++ T206 Hindu Spncer ++ FOUND !!!!!

[Al C.risafulli]

Scott's situation is really unfortunate. According to the tracking, the post office made an unsuccessful delivery attempt (it was sent with a signature requirement), and then the package went back to the Savannah Post Office and hasn't moved since. They never made a second attempt, they swear they don't have it, and we have both filed missing package reports. No dice on either end.

In 12 years of business, we've certainly made errors with shipping, but this is the first package we've ever shipped that appears to have actually gotten lost. We're refunding Scott's purchase and if the card ever gets back to us he has first dibs. I'm mostly bummed because Scott has been looking for this front/back combination for a long time and it always feels great when we're able to help someone fill an elusive spot in their collection.

(For those that don't understand why people would consign to an auction house vs. selling on their own, this is a good example - the consignor has already been paid on this card, and doesn't have to bother worrying about it)

In Turner's case, the good news is that his card came back to us yesterday, so that's getting shipped today (which may be news to Turner, but at least it's good news).

GREAT News -- Spencer has been returned to LOTG !!!!

That means it was just sitting in the Savannah PO for a month now. So much for the "through search" they promised they did ............... . But, then again, I'm not surprised. If there was an annual contest for the "worst PO in the nation," Sav. would win every year .............

All's well that ends well.

A very, a very, Fuf, Fun, Scott

Glad to see it will be finding it's way home. Hate to see things like this happen to collectors, and honest dealers like Al.

Really don't like to see the Howe-stamped cards disappearing. There are sure to be other cards, but maybe not another Howe-stamped Hindu ....

Glad you got your man, Scott!

So next week, when you're sitting at a table smelling turkey, you will silently give thanks for a found baseball card. May we all find a few of our misplaced cards. Somewhere, I think I have a stack of about 50 Tip Top Bread cards.

Congrats. I am interested in buying this card if you are selling. It fits my off-back Red Sox set goals to a tee.

A happy ending!

How many more Hindus to go?
