Made a quick purchase the other week to reduce my want list of T205 New York Giants (how many of you have want lists like that?). I had to laugh at the packaging. It may have survived the recent hurricanes. Kudos to seller Toppsaholic for protecting my investment.
Outer white paper wrapping. Folded and sealed securely.
That was around a box section folder and wrapped in another box section sleeve.
Which contained another cardboard envelope layer...
With a bubble mailer inside of that...
Wrapped in two slab bags...
...was the final product.
This is the "W. A." variation of Latham's T205. The more common version is "A. Latham" on the back.
Now I'm down to four for the team set. Of course, Mathewson is one of them.
It’s like an onion! Fantastic card!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking it was like a Russian nesting doll.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite Christmas presents was a $5 Starbucks gift card I received from a student years ago. She did something very similar where she wrapped it in multiple layers. I just remember thinking that the amount of time and effort she put into wrapping the gift card was priceless.
Thats a beauty and well worth the wrapping effort.
ReplyDeleteI'd be doing the same thing if I was selling a card like that.
ReplyDeleteGiven how poorly the USPS treats our mail these days, this person should be commended for insuring that you received your card, and slab, intact.
