Unacceptable. Bubble wrap and cardboard is always a must when sending valuables. My two cents!!

That's a shame, hopefully it was insured.

I generally use #000 and #00 bubble mailers for cards <$150. It's a risky business sending something that valuable in such a flimsy envelope.

I had a SGC slabbed E121 I sold to another board member and even wrapped in bubble and USPS cracked the slab. Fortunately the card was not damaged. This is why I now ship between two sheets of corrugated cardboard to protect the cards. So far no issues.

Small priority mail box and some bubble wrap. Problem solved.

I stopped using padded envelopes a long time ago.

Even though I only sell a few items a month, I use a well-secured box for everything (even a single card) I sell.

Real bummer. Can't imagine there are many of those in that grade floating around. Sigh.
