Worst Experience Collecting

Thats the thing about it too. These cards that were lost a few years back are worth much more now then the refund you received. You can always make more money but you cant always replace a certain card. I wonder when these things happen if someone ends up with the package by mistake or if the cards end up in a dumpster somehow never to be seen again? This is why I would be so hesitent to send true rarities(especially condition sensitive ones) through the mail. Imagine losing something like the 1912 Hassan triple folder display piece that was auctioned by REA last year. Even if you get the purchase refunded a piece of history was potentially lost forever. There's a point where i think id just assume fly over and pick something up by hand then have it shipped, especially something condition sensitive like a large advertising piece like the one mentioned above. Anyone ever done that?
