    Odd Shipping Practices

    Just checking to see strange ways that people have sent you cards. I got a trade yesterday in a picture frame. lol
    The cards were in fine shape. But just kind of strange, if you ask me. I guess I just got a free picture frame thrown in the trade. lol

    Oh there have been some strange ones.

    Somebody shipped me a Price oversized Victory card wedged in between two thin pieces of corrugated cardboard. Not inside a bubble mailer, just the cardboard with my address on it. Not surprisingly - damaged.

    Recently somebody shipped me something (Habs Inks of some sort I'm tempted to say) that was in between two thick pieces of foam inside a bubble mailer. Took forever to liberate it from the tape.

    Cut up 8x10 photo holders wedged together to hold some cards. Another epic tape liberation.

    And of course the delightful PWE.

    Habs fan and collector! Current PC's: Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and Lane Hutson...., and of course...

    Wasn't a problem when it happened, but the ever-classic toploaders in a white envolope! There was one other wacky one I think, but can't remember it right now!
