Intimidation or coincidence?

Just received a large lot of cards and the packaging material was styrofoam used to pack rifle ammunition. The interesting aspect was the note that was taped to the styrofoam inside the box that read, "I certainly hope you like these cards!"

I'm wondering if the seller was trying to make a point (or a hollow point, in this case)?

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    Let me guess, he has 100% FB

    On a similar note, I once ordered a card from a Charles Norris. I assumed at the time it wasn't the real Chuck Norris, but I didn't want to take any chances. So I left pos FB quickly.

    That's pretty funny. I've never owned a rifle; is it obvious when someone used styrofoam for rifle ammo?

    At least he didn't reiterate that he knows where you live...

    I pack mine in pages from the Al Jazeera newspaper and include a note that says, "I pray to Allah that you like these cards."

    If I were still selling , I'd probably add a note " How's that hook and chain working out for ya".

    Was the package sent from Texas? If so that's probably normal image

    Was it a large lot of 1958 Topps TV Westerns, maybe?
