Damn I thought I had the picture of that box still. I know I had saved it forever.



It has been posted here before too, probably on the old NET54 board.

It blows my mind that a company can guarantee a grade through a plastic case.

Turns out they overcharged me at the post office - I just mailed two packages that were of a much higher value, and neither came in that high.

Also, regarding insurance - for registered mail you MUST declare the package's actual value, and that's what they base the price on;i.e-getting insurance isn't optional.

I use registered for any expensive package I send and the only issue I have had is slow delivery times.

I do find it interesting that someone would consider not insuring a registered package to the content value to save what $20???

I also agree with Beckett in that you should only have been refunded for the value of the card, trying to collect the cost of flying to a show, hotel and the submissions fees from another grading company is almost imo you trying to take advantage of the situation.

Thanks, Scott.

When did flaming start picking up again in internet forums? I seem to be running into it everywhere these days - perhaps it's the state of the economy?

If it were a response to my post, then yes I do. Since it wasn't, then I guess it isn't. Sorry for my thin-skinned response, but I just got flamed somewhere else and was kind of getting sick of it. Would much rather see something like: "thanks for reporting back with your research, Scott", but you have to say what's on your mind, so fair enough.

My post was a hypothetical, as many of my posts are - I wanted to know how safe items are when shipped registered, as compared to priority. I got my answer from Leon, but when I shipped two registered items on Friday, I still showed up at the post office planning to ship them insured, and they were; however, I'm not sure it was optional.

As an aside, I thought 'PC' stood for 'politically correct', which I am anything but.
