What's your worst shipping horror story?

[Bill77]

Some fun shipping issues I've had:

I bought a graded Jason Giambi rookie the seller cut a priority envelope into two equal sized pieces and taped the card to one side of his homemade priority envelope. I am still amazed it showed up intact.

I bought 2 T79 Military series cards with Lenox backs from an idiot seller that I had purchased from before. I should have known better as the 1st envelope I got from him did not have enough postage and was delayed. The 2nd envelope wasn't sealed and had the flap torn off by one of the sorting machines at some point. To my eternal amazement both cards were still in the envelope.

I bought a pair of cards of Chyna that I am pretty sure the seller must have put in his back pocket before getting in the car to go to the post office.

More recently I bought an Autographed 1960 Topps Roy Face, which disappeared somewhere around St Louis. After waiting 2 weeks I found another one which of course had to go through St Louis as well, this one made it through. About a month after the 1st card disappeared it was finally delivered so now; I have 2 autographed 1960 Topps Roy Face cards.

So many other cards have taken extended vacations thanks to the USPS, some never to return. So many shippers must have stock in 3m with all the tape they use to both seal the packages and tape cards to the inside of envelopes just to drive me crazy.
