I come here to get away from political blather. And now it is spilling over to more sections. And it is a bummer. I know, don’t read it if I don’t like it. But I don’t actively search it out either and it shows up….

For a span of about 8 months I have had 12 different USPS packages of graded sports cards undelivered. They were all stolen internally, by a USPS worker IN MY LOCAL BRANCH. All but one of the packages were stolen in their entirety, however, one package had one card removed and the package was carefully and cleanly resealed and delivered (minus one $1200 card). I was contacted about two months after it began by a Special Agent from the Office of the Inspector General. They handle postal fraud, etc. This one Agent, to his credit, and after six months of monitoring, just recently caught the culprit. It was fascinating as the Agent had me receive "dummy" packages that he shipped to me so he could track and trace to catch the thief. He utilized hidden cameras everywhere in the post office. He recently told me he has several of my stolen cards, and they will eventually be delivered to me.

It is great when law enforcement works!

USPS was ZERO help and still has not reimbursed me one cent!

What is a shame is that this scumbag did the same thing to other collectors in my zip code, even to a larger extent of loss than mine.

James,

Wow… totally sucks. Glad you get some if not all of your cards back.

Unbelievable. People (some and it is getting to be many) have no shame anymore and it is a sad commentary in today’s world.

That sucks.

I once bought a card from Argentina that traveled the world. Buenos Aires to New York, to a variety of regional mail centers then back to Argentina then back to New York and eventually to me in Los Angeles. I calculated the travel and it was over 21,000 miles.

I guess it's not political unless you go out of your way to mention who appointed him, but it is known that the USPS service has declined, by design, under the leadership of Louis DeJoy. He's quite open about it. The bureaucratic challenges in trying to get him replaced have been an interesting news story in their own right.
