I love Sportlots.com, but I just can't stand the.......

.......TAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Example - you buy 20 commons for a set for $0.18 each plus very inexpensive shipping. Great.

You have a self sealing bubble mailer that is TAPED. Then, you have the invoice wrapped around the stack of cards that is heavily TAPED. Once you tear through all the tape to get to the cards, you find a self sealing team bag that is TAPED. Then, you have cards in Card Savers (you know, the kind that won't allow cards to move around) that is TAPED. Then, each card is in a penny sleeve and each card is TAPED!!!

Ok, the last thing I said wasn't true, but everything else was.

Sorry, had to vent.

    Plus it's a waste of money to overprotect the cards. The biggest shipping worry is someone stepping on the box, and gobs of tape ain't gonna help you then.

    Plus, you can damage the cards by getting them out of the tape.

    I forgot to add that the team bags are sometimes taped to the inside of the top loader sandwich.
