Packaged with a smaller box inside a larger box, correct?

What material was in the larger box, keeping the smaller one from moving around?

No, I didn’t write that clear enough. There was only one box and it was relatively small (think 4x4x7). Inside of this box was the card wrapped in tissue paper. That’s it.

Thanks for clarifying.

Holy crap, that's a lousy way to package a valuable card for transit. I take more care when sending things worth far less.

The graded cards that I purchase usually have bubble wrap around the slab, and are sandwiched between two hard cardboard pieces. This method has never caused me any issues - either as a buyer or seller.

That damage is extensive. There was significant force. The force may have even damaged a card packaged in the method I described, which I find sufficient. It’s not reasonable for a seller to package an item in such a way that it would survive a forklift driving over it or a pallet falling on it.

I wasn’t there and haven’t seen the packaging so don’t know if the seller should’ve done more. Terrible situation.
