that it's possible to wrap a slab SO tightly with stretched and taped bubble wrap that you can hardly get even a knife in to cut it open?

    Probably the same one that double tapes bubble envelope mailers so that you end up just cutting open the entire package.... :s Cheers, RickO

    I got more than a few like that. It was like unwrapping a mummy where they used tape instead of cloth. :#

    I just had the most nasty package arrive. A coin was placed in 3 boxes. Outer box was priority mail box. Middle was a soap box. Inner was a CONDOM BOX. Who ships like that?!?

    Probably the first one who got a coin returned because of the little chip in the stacking tab on the slab.
