RE: The Latest in Hobby Shenanigans - Shipping Without Toploaders!
(rubs forehead, sighs ...)
I never said it HAS to be shipped in a top loader, my friends.
My point was, I would prefer not to spend 10 nerve-wracking minutes trying gently to remove some extremely tight and sticky packaging tape from the flimsy surface of a penny sleeve whilst also not trying to damage an 18-year-old trading card from the equally porous and slightly damp cardboard surface upon which it is mounted.
Regardless, I’ve never not had a card that I purchased shipped in anything other than rigid plastic of some type ... top loader, card saver II, plastic team box, magnet holder, etc.
That’s in 20-plus years of eBay and Amazon purchases.
Now it’s happened about half a dozen times in the last month or so on both outlets.
Put it this way ... you get drunk at a bar ... you drive home ... you make it home safely without incident.
Still, was it a good idea to drive home drunk?
