Having spoken with a USPS supervisor last week, who was very noncommittal and cryptic with answers to questions, here is what I think is happening - the bar code label doesn't match the written address (mine) on the package. I believe the label, with the tracking number, indicates a Petaluma, California address. Maybe I am wrong. I think the USPS scanning equipment tried to send it to my physical address 3 times and a human being stopped that from happening 3 times. It was then flagged somehow and sent to California, and that delivery never happened either. Now I think it's being returned to the sender. We'll see.

Be that all as it may, I bought and have received 6 nice condition 1948 Bowmans. If these lost cards are in fact returned to Octavio, great, case closed.

I think the bar code must have originally matched the address because it went first to Florida as it was supposed to and bounced around there for a while. Maybe it got damaged and now reads as Petaluma. In any case, it seems clearly on its way back to Octavio.

That's no excuse. If the bar code doesn't match the address, an intelligent being would choose to go with the address.

Not if the sorting is being done by machine reading the barcode.

Since the barcode (tracking) number is known, there should be a way to have USPS sorting machines pull it when they next scan it, so a human can straighten out the mess.

So is the bar code damaged? Must be some explanation for the tour of America.

This thread would make a great episode of Seinfeld. Again thankfully Leon posted the 53 B Color Reese. According to the tracking the cards were delivered to the buyer today or at least to an address in his city.
