Ok maybe not that interesting but they'll draw a reaction...
First up, a very cool card for my mate thanks to Al:
Kareem vs Wilt:
Then one of the two cards I really really wanted from Timeless Treasures (and my only Mikan memorabilia):
1/1 Kobe jersey number...
Next up a very nice Exquisite card, also for my mate. Pity it's not # 3/3 as that could be considered jersey number...
(blackrose - very fast shipping)
Which brings me to the story parts of this mailday. No big story about this one:
Other than the fact that it arrived without a toploader or any protection, inside a folded-over large bubble envelope which was inside a USPS prepaid priority mail envelope. The card is bent/warped and it's pretty likely this happened in transit, because the seller didn't protect it!!!
And then the interesting story...
I bought this (stupidly)
And this because I wanted it
but the seller used that really annoying Auctiva program. These were supposed to be shipped to Matt's address in the States. But because Auctiva is STUPID and no matter what (even if your primary shipping, billing and registration address is one thing), it ships to your home address. That would have been ok, however he addressed it to my home address but instead of writing New Zealand, he wrote AUSTRALIA...!!
Pretty close places, but seriously.. if the address Auctivia gives you says New Zealand, why the heck would you let your ignorance take over and change it to Australia?? I can't believe they actually arrived!!
Love that quad patch Timeless treasures card, some true legends of the game right there.
Can't believe anyone would post cards with no protection, I really think mail sorters the world over go out of their way to fold most things.
Especially if they have "Do Not Bend" written on them.
Had a business size envelope with legal documents come to my place with that stamped on it .. so naturally the mailman folded it in half and stuffed it in our mailbox.
I've had 1 card arrive with no toploader atleast yours was in a bubble mailer mine was wrapped in 1 layer of tissue paper and put in a white envelope and sent from the states
Nice legends cards though G, the Kareem and Shaq are my favs
Haha I cant belive it actually made it to you with Australia on it! The good people at Australia Post must have put it in the outgoing mail to New Zealand for ya mate, us Australian's are pretty nice! Very lucky though!
Now onto the cards! The quad hall of fame card is a beauty I really like that design and that Wilt 2/3 is a crackin' card and pitty about the Bird Topps Finest, they are one of my favourite cards in my collection...I really dont get these people that send without a toploader or extra protection!!!
Lay off the tag team cards mate, your true calling are the Lakers cards!!! Great mailday
Love the "1/1 Kobe jersey number" a true ebay 1/1 considering he isn't on it

Yeah heard that before, some people just don't have a clue. Can you leave neutral or negative feedback then file a claim? Usually when you do a claim you can't leave feedback, which is annoying...
