Ticket Monster LAD Banner

Sunday, March 25, 2012

I stumbled upon a Russ Martin relic I did not have, and was able to land it for just $2.79 shipped. It's a "triple" jersey relic that spells out LAD, and is numbered 95/99. Ordinarily, that sort of deal would be kosher. Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.

The Martin arrived packaged in a non-ideal way, and I'm sure that is the reason the card has creases everywhere. And I'm not exaggerating; there are too many creases to count, as the card looks like it has lightning bolts over the entire front of it. It doesn't show well in the scan, but the top of the "A" and bottom of the "D", for starters. The seller refunded me my money and didn't demand I return the card (again, why should I be forced to spend time and money correcting someone else's mistake?), and for now the card will serve as a placeholder until I can upgrade it.

I will never, for the life of me, understand why people do that. Top loaders, padded envelopes and team bags are the bare minimum for a $1- card or a $1,000 card. Make sure your feedback reflects his awful packaging habits.

I had that happen with a protected card once. A Maddux jersey I bought was in a PWE but toploaded. Still something must have crushed it enough along the way. Good seller to refund you like that, though.--Jon
