Question to all the Canadians on this board....
Posted By: CN
Jon whenever I see an auction that the seller won't state a shipping price I either stay away or if it is an item I really want I contact him first. I agree with you that $12 seems excessive but I would not leave him a negative rating based on the fact that he wanted any bidders to contact him with the shipping price. CN |

No question the charge is excessive. Canada Post has all kinds of different rates, my guess is that the seller asked the post office for the two day guaranteed rate and they quoted him the $12 figure. I'd go back to the seller and ask him how much the shipping would be if he put the two cards in top loaders with some cardboard and then put into a regular envelope and then mailed regularly. For a regular letter to the U.S. (up to one ounce) the cost is 89 cents. |

Elliot - thanks for the correction. I spelled Canadians correctly, then edited it to an incorrect spelling... I'll fix it now as I don't want to offend any of my neighbors to the north. |

The Canadian guy (seller) is probably mailing the cards registered/express post ($12+ you get a tracking #) |

Frank - I thought is was the $40 risk... plus I noticed one of the underbidders is another collector although I can't remember his name. I did see the guy sold a collection of '52 Topps cards a while back. The cards looked ok to me, albeit blurry. Since I'm paying with Paypal, if worse comes to worse, I can always return them and deny payment on my credit card. |

$12 is the exact rate for Express delivery with tracking to the US. It is a 2-7 day service depending on the destination using a prepaid envelope. Wothout the prepaid envelope Express mail will cost the shipper $14-$20. Jim. |

Those blurry 52's could be Canadian Topps issued cards. They only cover one series (#131-190) from that year and use different cardboard than regular Topps from 1952 (darker stock). They are relatively scarce compared to the US issue. |
