I thought I remembered another thread about this, but this was the only one I could find.
I cannot believe this arrived fine lmfao. I opened the mail box and thought “Is this a card for ants?!?!” It’s actually the size of a card hahaha

you might be thinking of this thread The Giant Courier/Postal Service Garbage Thread
but I made that for when its the fault of couriers. This can be its own thing.
“when the sender packages the card like an absolute freak thread.”

I recently “got” a slab mailed in a plain white envelope for 1.25.
Considering that I had to pay no additional postage, you might conclude It did not arrive in one piece, in fact, it was an empty envelope, 
SN,AFU.

You always have to feel out the eBay seller and coach them a bit if they’re new to selling on how to ship. Unless I’m buying from a large seller I generally put in my notes during checkout to ‘please ship in a sleeve and toploader’ if they reach out and say they don’t have that I typically ask them to use a Ziploc bag and some cardboard. I know it’s annoying as a seller to be told how to ship by a buyer, but I only do it if I feel it’s necessary. I want to avoid having to do a return

Ohhh myyy goshhh!!! I guess it worked though? lol
Magically, somehow it worked out! Hahaha
Also I found my old picture of when a card was shipped in a dvd case. The card was outside of the hard top loader,
The pushpin was loose inside and at the bottom of the bubble mailer. I can’t find the photo of them all together, but it was very funny.

Was this card pricked with a push pin?
Wow lmfao. I can see how someone would think that’s safe to ship in but dang!
