John H.I went to the P.O. to pick up a package containing all 12 1939 issues of Baseball Magazine a few months ago. The clerk handed me the large envelope and it had been torn open, somewhat retaped and all of the magazines were gone. I thought that Canada Customs may have opened it but they use yellow tape to reseal packages and this was done with clear. They also stamp packages after opening them which wasn't the case here.
I thought that the envelope might have been a bit small to hold 12 oversized magazines and that maybe it had broken open itself but the seller said they fit quite comfortably. I still wish he would have packed them in a box.
I had gotten a terrific deal on these magazines and I seriously doubt that I will ever have an opportunity to pick up the full run from that historically significant season all in one shot again. Sigh...
