Heavier brown tape? They’ve been using it for about a month now. Got one today taped pretty heavily.

We were poking a little fun at the thread. I mean, c'mon. Is your love of packing tape really worth a thread all its own?

Is the old vintage tape now collectable? Will any of the grading services now authenticate and slab it?

It reminds me of the tamper free taping the Post Office does when you send something registered/insured. They tape every corner. The old style mint boxes sometimes had such loose sides, a coin could slip out...it has happened.

No Lie, when you say registered, you have to say "yes, I mean registered" and then watch as the eyes roll and the kit comes out. They are all afraid of registered mail, because everyone that even touches it has to sign that they did so, and put their a$$ on the line.

So you as the customer have to apply the security tape to every seam? They aways taped it up and stamped it with their postmark stamp.

Yes, the customer is expected to do it. Back in the day, they would sometimes do it, but in recent years they will sell you the tape and have you do it.

I'm just telling you what the actual rules are and those rules say you are expected to do it, not the post office clerk.

Okay so TBH I have not done this for a while, and rules/practices change. The last time I brought an unsealed bubble envelope in for regular shipping and asked for a 3” piece of tape, they tried to sell me a roll. So yeah.

This thread is twisting & turning to who knows where? I’ll throw in another one: is it duck tape or duct tape? The answer? Both are correct 👍!
