2nd time in 2 months I've had regualar envelopes show up ripped and empty. Anyone else ever have thi

LiveAndLearn

The first time I questioned whether the guy ripped it himself and put tape on it to make it look like it did but he sent my money back after I sent the envelope back in the condition I recieved it in. This time I know the person well enough that I don't figure he did the envelope tearing himself. I am gonna quit sending any deals (no matter if it's a .50 or $50+ card) as I've been lucky and all have gotten through so far. Anyone else received just to find nothing due a card (or cards) being sent in a basic flimsy envelope?

That's just true idiocy. If they don't have enough common sense to use bubble mailers or use reg. envelopes but USE protection, then they shouldn't even be trading in the first place. I think some people do it on purpose just to be major b*tches...or either they have an IQ of 10, and they don't know any better. It's rediculous.

I'm just fortunate I've never had that problem. But, I can see why you or anyone would be mad. It's totally lamed out.

Never happened to me...Maybe your mailman collects cards lol

Nah, my mail lady collects Golf and WWF/WWE for her grand kids (she says that anyway)....I wouldn't be surprised if someone in the postal system had a nice collection based totally on "lost" mail items.

Ive had that happen to me...... bradley was tradin to me in a very weird trade.... I missed an UD eddie griffin RC out of a ripped package, whether it was ripped in mail I know not. never asked him about it though... I should have

Anytime a deal doesn't meet the standard of satisfaction you expect you should speak up about it...I do...I am on no trade lists with a lot of people local and through internet deals because they sent junk cards and didn't want anyone calling them dishonest hurting their rep so they made the deals right by sending replacements or just trading back the original cards in the deal...In a case of lost cards I sent back either empty or the cards that were left in from a trade...Never settle even if it makes someone mad in trades or buys...It just hurts your collection and agitates you in the end...I personally would rather have a few mad at me and not wanna trade with me again than feel like I got screwed in a deal.

disreal, interesting post there. u got to ask urself these 2 questions..

did bradley do that on purpose because he didn't have a ud griffin rc and just did that as an excuse to why it's not there? or did it really ripped open and slipped out?

I just had a card show up yesterday where the envelope was half torn, but the card was still inside..

really burns my butt when someone sends their end of the trade in a regular envelope when i always send in a padded mailer. its just a bad way to do a trade, come on people spend the extra 80 cents will ya? GRRRRRRRRR

I've never had a problem with a single card in a top loader in a WELL taped envelope. Don't blame it on the sender if they did a good job trying to protect it. Blame it on the post office.

I've had things taken from my mailbox but never found any ripped envelope.

Ive had them come with the envelope torn open but the cards were still there. Mine were from the sorter because you could see where the wheels met the envelope.
