Dave- I just want you to know that the post office did inspect the package today & it was tampered with. He claims because it wasn't insured, I won't be get my money back, even though the cards were in the package when it was shipped. I will continue to pursue this matter till this is resolved the right way. I will leave you with this note: although I was wrong thinking you had to do anything to do with this package and I'm glad for that, I felt that this should had been handled privately beteeen us & not publicly with net54. When things had settled down, & if you wanted to share the story with the public, thats would have been fine.

Why should he have handled it privately when you were not civil to begin with? You immediately threatened him....IMO that cost you ALL of your credibility from the get go. Had you acted like a gentleman to start with, I doubt any of us would have ever known about this incident.

It seems to me that the package was probably opened after delivery by USPS. Someone else may have had access to your mail.

Let's be clear! I bought the Revelle which is also pictured with the stolen cards (which I just received today, thanks T206DK btw). The sale was legit and not associated with the "hot" cards in any way!

sorry for not specifying that the Revelle was not part of this transaction. I'm glad it arrived safely though !! the 2 PSA 5's are the cards in question. I have already started to search Ebay everynight for both in case they turn up for sale.

I think pwilk17 has a good point.I would talk to the delivery person,if you have a regular carrier,and ask him/her if they remember the package.You can also see if it was a sub that day.
I'm sure there is theft within the ranks of the USPS,but in this economy it seems insane that a regular carrier (or sub for that matter) would risk losing their job over what "might" be in the package.
At any rate,I'm glad to see you both worked it out with each other,it sounds like you both are the victims here.
You may also want to contact your local card shops to see if someone has tried to sell the cards to them,or give them a heads up to be on the look out for them.
My regular carrier is very good,he has gotten mail to me before that wasn't adressed correctly-so I suggest talking to your regular carrier.
Sincerely,Clayton

the envelope was probably touched by 10 different postal workers, might not be the carrier, could have been emptied long before he got the envelope
