Probably close to 20 years ago at this point, an eBay seller sent me a '55 Bowman Ernie Banks - raw in a PWE, with a yellow sticky note affixed to the card itself. Incredibly - for the condition it was described in - the sticky came right off and it was no worse for the wear.
UPS one time sent me a 1973 Angels Media Guide with Nolan Ryan on it - left on the front porch in heavy rain. Luckily I rescued the package within about 10 minutes of it being delivered - the item inside the packaging had not yet gotten soaked through, but it was well on it's way.
