Default Red Cobb destroyed by FedEx

So here’s a terrible lesson in how to pack your cards. I recently won a very nice PSA 3 Red Cobb off eBay. The seller shipped the card to me via FedEx. I just now received it and I noticed the box had been through some damage. Hoping for the best (I have never had a card get damaged in transit) I took some pictures and proceeded to open the box. The seller had packed the smaller box tight with packing paper but no other protection. The damage propagated to the card itself, cracking the case length wise and severely creasing the Cobb. I am confident I will get my money back but this is a lesson for all. Pack carefully! This wonderful piece of the hobby largely survived intact for more than a century with very little protection. A terrible combination of the slab, a bad packing job, and shippers who could care less have ruined this piece of history.
