does this bother anyone else

[joshpackham]

yesterday in the mail I got a card I won on ebay, the card came in between two top loaders (card was in a penny sleeve), I've had this happen in the past and it hasn't bothered me, for some reason this bothered me yesterday, does it bother other people when the card does not arrive in the proper size top loader or am I just getting too fussy. This applies to any transactions that involve the shipping of cards.

Nope.


All I care about is that the seller (or trader) gets the card to me safely. Unless it's a massive lot of cards (i.e. you bought an entire base set) I expect each card to be in its own penny sleeve, but that's about it.

If you need to use two toploaders to secure it, becuase you don't have the right size one to hold it, that's fine. It's safe.


I don't count on others to provide me with a good way to store the card (top loader, one-touch, whatever). If they do... awesome. It's a bonus. If they don't, that's okay. I keep a good supply of clean ones on hand (many of the toploaders you get in the mail will have been taped) and I just use the ones sent to me for shipping.

Nope. Does not bother me at all.

I look at that as a windfall of an extra top-loader.

I'm ok with it as long as they secure the card (with tape or paper wrapping) to keep it between the two top loaders. Without that the card could slide out and the corners get dinged. Otherwise, I am perfectly all right with it. In fact, one could argue that sandwiching the card between two top loaders offer more protection than placing the card inside a single top loader. Doubling the top loaders adds more rigidity and lessens the chance of bending.

If the card is fine, I do not mind. All I care about is that it is successfully delivered.

Likewise, as long as the card is fine I'm happy.

It is annoying that they cant put it in a toploader. But to be honest if there is no damage I could care less how it gets to me.

[scottkoz20]

annoyed - yes

but like others have said, if it arrives safely, I can live with it

[robert podger]

all good as long as the card arrives safe. WHAT IS BOTHERSOME IS AN OVER USE OF TAPE,(scotch tape and packing tape) some packages have taken me awhile to get into cause you dont want to miss some tape and have cards everywhere due to having to use force to open it up. only a little is needed to hold packages together, i think some people just think its funny. haha (if your gonna use tape fold it back and allow a start point for people to get into their cards)

What pisses me off is when I get a top loader wrapped 4 ways till Sunday in tape.
