Red Cobb destroyed by FedEx

[NiceDocter]

That great Cobb and then the Sport Kings basketball both made me sad and kind of angry. Both cards are still highly collectible but their monetary values of course and eye appeal are drastically reduced. It is possible that on removal from those destroyed slabs the cards may not look “too” bad when flattened back out .. but a sadness nonetheless. I sold a near mint 1959 Bazooka Mantle in an auction back in 1985 or so… shipped insured in very thick cardboard and the PO crunched one corner despite the bold red PHOTOS DO NOT BEND all over the mailer. The buyer sent the whole shebang back to me and I of course refunded his money ($250 as I recall). I put the card in a screw down to minimize the corner creasing and its still in there today…. Guess it’s time to get it out now LOL but I’m glad I still have it anyhow!
