It almost takes an hour to get the card out, I agree. At least it's packed well.

I bought these cards off eBay. I also rarely use eBay. I have more fun buying cards in person. Anyways, these cards came literally in a plain envelope that snugly fitted a binder sleeve... Yes the seller only had 41 feedbacks ( I really didn't care because it was a small purchase).. I contacted him because every card was creased because of the poor packaging. It was only $30 bucks for my Brooklyn Dodgers cards but I was still very disappointed. I let the disappointment subside for about a day then told him that the shipping was unacceptable and that my cards were damaged. He replied back thats how he's been sending his cards and has had no problems.... I just replied if you don't change this then you will surely get negative feedback. I proceeded to tell him that luckily it was only $30 so I will not leave you negative feedback if you promise to not ever do such a dumb thing again. Your negligence is unacceptable. He agreed and thanked me...

I still haven't left him feedback a month later. I've been avoiding it...

Maybe it's time to give him what he deserves? A big fat negative feedback. Won't look too good with only 44 feedbacks, but thats not my problem!!!

I guess packaging issues should be addressed if the card has substantial value and/or if you have the time to deal with it... In my case I just didn't care to resend the cards because it was cheap. I figured I learned my lesson buying from a new seller and will keep the cards for a constant reminder.

I always use the Golder Rule of shipping. Pack your cards unto others as you would have them packed unto you.
