Latest card grading scam

First, if he emailed you just a couple days after you sent it, he couldn't have resubmitted could he? Maybe I am just reading wrong also.

Secondly, I have received graded cards in bubble mailers with the cases cracked twice. It's best to wrap it in bubble wrap also, or I actually put the card in a small bubble mailer and then put that bubble mailer in a larger bubble mailer and I have never had one damaged.

Isn't the term card grading scam sort of redundant?

You really need to sandwich graded psa/sgc cards between two heavy pieces of cardboard---putting them in a padded mailer only is not enough. Also, marking the mailer "fragile" has little to no effect how that package is handled behind closed doors in the post office.

I received a cracked SGC card that was in a padded mailer before (likely marked fragile)...

sorry to hear about your situation.
Pat's point is correct about the bubble mailers imho--
i've received a couple of rough ones via this mode and they had some problems. Certainly not as severe as what you've gone through, though.

best,

UPS is now no better than the USPO. And good luck getting your money back from them on a collectable. They will put you through the hoops in varifying the value.

Hey easy on the UPS cracks. I have to back up my employer. But you are correct, some of the hub workers tend to get carried away with boxes.

I personally have received at least 5 cracked PSA cases thru the mail as well, it happens.
