That being said, apparently they've lowered the bar so low in Ohio, one can trip over it.

What kind of world am I living in where asking the simplest of questions is so hard for some people to grasp that they can only make ad hominem attacks on the asker? It really speaks to one's intelligence when they struggle with such simple things.

I'm pretty sure this whole act of you and your pal is nothing more than an attempt to distract from the question I asked. No one is as dumb as you to appear to be. You must be trying to protect the seller from questions.

I had a fairly disappointing purchase last year where I bought a card that I wouldn't say that the scan was exactly doctored, but the chroma was turned way up and the card didn't look anything like the scan. When I reached back out to the buyer he pretty much gas lighted me...it's obviously the same card...you should have known by the grade that there was a crease (which was not disclosed even though I asked up front)...I wouldn't expect someone from Net54 not to know what to expect. I just called it a day. What looked like a good buy turned out to be a full price retail buy, but it was a somewhat scarce and desirable card so I just figured I'd consider it done and try not to worry about it any further.

Final update - the $15 or $20 to mail, but worth probably, what, $150 for 6 raw 1948 Bowmans? Well, they were delivered today to someone in Petaluma, California. I hope they enjoy them, and experience less drama with them than me.

I think if the new owner of the cards doesn't go on a message board and post a poorly worded, poorly though out rant, he or she will definitely have "less drama."

I aspire to be perfect like you.

Hmmm the plot thickens . Makes me wonder if seller/shipper mixed packages/ addresses / buyers info. All in all what a shit show this turned out to be . Im sure you are i know i would be disappointed.

P.s. I really hope those Bowmans make their way to you eventually.

WTF. Sorry to hear that, I am hard pressed to think of an explanation.

Hopefully like most the recipient gives the misdelivered mail back and you still receive them.

Now I also feel sorry for Octavio. Looks like he might have mispriced/fat fingered the sale price and sold $150 worth of cards for $15. Now it is very apparent it clearly wasn't about $15.

It looks like it's six beater commons worth about $30

Could be I never looked and know nothing about 48 Bowmans. Was using the OPs estimated value.

Wrong answer. You could probably buy one of the beaters for $30.

Well that's proof positive that the seller mailed them anyway. So in any event that answers your first concern.

That's because you don't have a full grasp of the dynamics at work here. Consider:

1) The USPS is a government agency. Therefore the profit motive isn't a factor here. It's not their money so nobody cares (or gets fired).
2) The more convoluted the journey, the more man hours the journey requires. This facilitates empire building by the postal workers' union while at the same time increasing job security for the individual employee.

So it's a win, win situation for the post office workers. The only losers are those tracking the shipment and complaining about it on discussion forums.

Oh good Lord.
