Latest card grading scam

[bbcard1]

Isn't the term card grading scam sort of redundant?

[mintacular]

You really need to sandwich graded psa/sgc cards between two heavy pieces of cardboard---putting them in a padded mailer only is not enough. Also, marking the mailer "fragile" has little to no effect how that package is handled behind closed doors in the post office.

I received a cracked SGC card that was in a padded mailer before (likely marked fragile)...

sorry to hear about your situation.
Pat's point is correct about the bubble mailers imho--
i've received a couple of rough ones via this mode and they had some problems. Certainly not as severe as what you've gone through, though.

UPS is now no better than the USPO. And good luck getting your money back from them on a collectable. They will put you through the hoops in varifying the value.

Hey easy on the UPS cracks. I have to back up my employer. But you are correct, some of the hub workers tend to get carried away with boxes.

I personally have received at least 5 cracked PSA cases thru the mail as well, it happens.

Mr. Jeffrey Lichtman, sir...........I'm calling you out! This is your fault buddy! The 21th century baseball card collector is in a state of extreme agitation and is no thanks to you. Todays baseball card collector is disproportionately burdened with unseen threats of trimmed cards, shill bidding, FBI investigations, chemically botox cards, substandard grading companies, OM black overprint backs, poor eBay management, fake holders, fake cards, fake auctions, etc. etc. etc. How many more serious collectors will have to quit the hobby after being subject to your negativity??? Please, I'm begging you, put a stop to this madness and finally say something nice about what is supposed to be a pleasurable pastime. Come on man, you can do it!

Lovely Day...
