Default Packaging cards for shipment

Posted By: Bob Beyerle

I once put an ad in the old VCBC looking for Lobert cards. Someone sent me a Turkey Red in a 6x9 manila envelope,, AND NOTHING ELSE! I mean the card barely fit into the envelope, he probably creased it just getting it in there! Needless to say, the trip from NY to CALIF. via USPS didn't help matters either. A small note simply stated "if interested please send $350, if not return card". Even though I loved the card it was beat to hell at that point. I returned it (with multiple cardboard surrounds) and said thanks but can't use it at that price/condition. The sad thing is it looked like it was probably a pretty nice card before it's 3 day postal journey....
