Post office doing it's finest work.
Came from Canada so don't know if them or U.S. Mail.

    Are those tire marks on the package? That is just inexcuseable. Idiots.

    Sorry. That's on the shipper.

    Idk, that package doesn't look how I would pack it, but I'm not sure my ocd packing standards can survive being run over! That looks like a forklift ran over it and then backed up and parked on it for a while.

    I'm not blaming shipper, at all !
    But I'm still putting in for my refund..

    He would have been better off using a little bit bigger envelope with some more padding around the PSA slab though.

    Looks to me like it got processed as a letter/envelope instead of a package.

    I put the blame on the postal service for that one.

    Actually that is why all my graded card sales get 2 layers of cardboard before the bubble mailer.

    Buy the card, not the holder.

    Probably got caught in a sorting machine. Those aren’t hilo tire tracks and they’re too narrow to be a truck.

    Or was run over by an electric pallet jack. May have fallen on floor when being sorted.

    I think an undercover Ace Ventura posing as a UPS driver delivered that one.

    I'm not sure superior packaging would have save that. If it is straight up abused I can't blame the seller.

    I had a card case cracked in the mail once, not that bad though. Are you going to try to salvage the card and send it in to PSA for a reholder? If the card is not damaged, and regrades the same, you may have gotten yourself a free PSA 9.

    Better packaging would get it processed as a package and not a letter so it wouldn't go through a roller.

    YES. Never have the item too flat. Got to put some good padding so it doesn't go through that roller.
