Made a trade last week with TCDB user tntcardsstg (Trevor from Bump And Run Football blog) for 25 cards. 20 of them were for Angela - mostly Eli Manning, a Brett Favre and a John Riggins.
I get the daily USPS emails that show what mail is coming that day. There was a picture of the mailpiece there, but it didn't appear in my mailbox. But the postal gal (I could tell by the handwriting) said contact them to verify that it was mine. It looked like this:
It probably was marked "non-machinable", but we all know they try to put it through anyway. This one lost so much of the envelope that there was no destination or return address left at all. I'm guessing it just arrived stacked between the other couple trades I got that day.
Here's the envelope, or what was left of it.
Luckily, the cards were fine. I showed the gal at the post office the TCDB trade page when I went to pick them up. It was the perfect way to verify where they were supposed to go. I should have said that any stray packages of cards are probably mine, but who knows?
Thanks Trevor! Looking forward to the next round!
I don't blame him for anything. This just happens now and then. Glad they made it OK.
Has happened to me a couple of times. And last week I received one half of a ripped envelope that contained my mortgage bill. Who knows where the other half is.
ReplyDeleteSame here. Lucky you got them at all.
ReplyDeleteAmazing that the cards were unharmed 👍
ReplyDeleteWow, very impressive that three envelope got to you and the cards were fine!
ReplyDeleteThe card gods were looking down on you, Angela, and that package, because it's a miracle that those cards arrived... and arrived safely.
ReplyDeleteOuch. I've had that happen to a card in a top loader. The top loader was cracked but thankfully the card survived.
ReplyDeleteAmazing you got them. Reminds me of Charlie Brown's kite eating tree. Enjoy the time all!
ReplyDeleteUSPS has been awful recently. I had two packages, non cards, come in yesterday almost destroyed
ReplyDeleteThat envelope has an Intelligent Mail Barcode on it. It definitely went through a machine.
