Ok, so I go check my p.o. box today, to see what I got this week. Anyway, I open the box and see 3 bubble mailers. One had a 1985 Prism sticker, the other had an autograph, and the last one was the crazy package! LOL

So, I open this bubble mailer and see a 2005-06 UD Game Used Dual auto of Larry Brown and Lenny Wilkens serial numbered to 25. I say to myself, I didn't buy this! The package by the way is coming from the Philippines. At closer inspection, I see the post mark date as March 2006 image

How in the world did this happen? Has this ever happened to you before? Sure, it was a nice treat after so long, but what is going on with the post office these days? If theres a contest on who got their package the latest, this as to be the winner!!!!!! image

Whats your thoughts?

    so are you saying you bought the item and forgot it? did you ever try to contact the seller?

    I actualy have 8 of these cards, so I must have forgot about one, LOL. Yes, I have 8, and I bought them all in the same time period, when the product first came out, and it was very hot, so everybody put these cards up. I have 6 numbered to 25 versions and 2 Gold versions numbered to 5.

    I really can't remember if I did notice that it didn't come, and I can't remember if I contacted the seller and what he said, but i'm pretty sure I contacted him, LOL.

    Probably not. If I did, most of it has probably been sold in the consolidation process.

    There was a story a few weeks ago about a letter turning up 90 something years late.

    Was it stamped with the "Sitting in Empty Storage Container" message? I just got a thank you card from a good buddy. I immediately thought "Oh fudge, I didn't go to his wedding!" Turns out it was from his first wedding back in '01. Six years.

    Not sure what your talking about, but no, it didn't have anything stamped, other than the stamp were it says Registered and the date March 30th 2006, and which post office it came from and so on.

    Good thing you didn't miss your friends wedding! WOW, six years later? image
