Possible stolen cards....

[taffster74]

Hey guys, just putting this up there for now with more details possibly to come. I've had a long ongoing deal with Sharpysports for a good stack of Jeff Green cards and have recently paid for the final lot. Well, he's posted the cards via express mail and the tracking said it was supposed to have been delivered today at 8:14 am. No cards in hand - delivery guy did not ring the intercom, did not even leave a calling card. Given the value of the cards coming in (some very rare cards including 3 1of1's) and that it was sent express post, i knew that i'd have to sign for it. Have contacted Australia post and laid out the situation with them and they've gone ahead and opened an investigation. Depending on what happens, i will posting in this thread exactly what the cards are (sharpy can provide the images if necessary as he's been informed of this situation) so that if the cards cannot be recovered, you guys can keep an eye out for them. To say I'm p'd is a bit of an understatement - i can image Brendan (sharpy) would be just as peeved as i am.

Sorry to hear that Jason. Just fills me with fear as I sent $3k worth of cards express on Monday with no insurance. *fingers crossed*

Good luck!

Nothing beats turning up at the local branch and asking them to have a look, my 'lost' parcel under investigation was just sitting on some non-descript shelf because the guy couldn't read the hand-writing!

Big brass ones indeed matey! I don't think even the CEO of Australia Post would do that!

It made it there! *relief* I find it just absurd that we have to insure ourselves against their incompetence.

Cards/package finally arrived. Went to put the cat litter out this morning and there was a package - the package just outside my door. Already let Brendan know.
