starting 2011, ill post actual mails in mailday threads = )
these came in the first couple days of this year!
just felt like ranting on the1st mail... the seller originally charged me $5 shipping for each of the three cards i won on the same day... when i asked for combined shipping, i was charged $20 for express mail because the total value was also combined and exceeded his $5 shipping limit. ended up paying a bit more, but i thought that was fair enough.
when i opened the mail, it was packaged well, bubble wrapped inside a bubble mailer.. but all three cards were crammed in a single toploader! good thing nothing was damaged, but with the amount i paid for shipping, i would have expected better protection for each card.

these usually floats around ebay a couple of times a year, but normally ends higher than his other similar autos. I just learned now that it was from his 1st year of signing autos for Topps.

i've always like these cards as they were one of the few authenticated autographed cards that shaq was able to sign after his deal with scoreboard/classic and before his exclusive deal with Topps.
