My 1000000 Card Giveaway cards have arrived and they were semi-destroyed. Why are these packaged without a team bag again? If they were, things like this...
wouldn't happen. You can't see from the scan but the card now has a ridge running through the middle where the package was attempted to be folded with such pressure it broke the toploader.
I imagine it was a financial decision to save a few thousand dollars over all the packages that would be sent but it chop blocks all the excitement and good will collectors [well, this collector at least] have for Topps because of this great promotion.
Now if I pull more of these cards I have to roll the dice to see if the cards will arrive safely. Is this better than having my mother just throw them away?
Of the bunch I ordered here is the one I was most excited about. It's not exactly the big bright and vibrant card I was hoping for and there's a big ass crease through "Orioles" but it's hard to say if that was the card's original condition or something that happened in shipping. But it's one more vintage card than I had before so it's hard to be too disappointed.

Thankfully it was sent UPS and not stuffed in my mailbox. Also thankfully, the plastic sleeves absorbed the rubber band, so no damage that way. But definitely one of the more ghetto shipping methods I've ever seen, along the lines of crappy ebay sellers I've bought from.
