I am so mad!
Last week I purchased an autographed 5x7 picture of former GLOW girl, Ashley Cartier for $10. I got it today and boy was I mad!

The packaging for the picture looks as though a disgruntled postal worker just wadded it up and threw it in thier mail bin! It had a sticker on it that read: " Received in damaged condition at the Adrian post office." Imagine my horror when I opened the package to se my picture virtually destroyed! Not only do I not have Ashley's autograph now, but I'm also out $10!

On the bright side, I did get 4 Listia auctions in consisting of signed cards of Chris Spielman, Dan Pohl, Butch Benton and J.W. Porter.

It still doesn't get the U.S. Postal service off for thier incompetence though!

In my rant yesterday, I forgot to list one of my Listia winnings! I won a 1978 Topps card signed by Bobby Randall.

I got another tore up envelope from the p.o. today! Luckily, I didn't end up with any more damaged autographs! But it did destroy the personal note that the celeb wrote to me. I got a ttm success from, former WWE tag team champion, Rico! He signed my WWE trading cards and included a short note which I would have liked to have kept but the p.o. had a different idea! Oh well. At least my cards were safe! I also got a signed 8x10 of U-Conn coach Jim Calhoun! This was an e-mail request.

Just a thought:

What if you put sturdy, reusable return envelopes and put address labels on them you can remove and replace and sticker over? Just put the items you want signed in them, put them into a slightly larger envelope to mail, and they're protected both ways.

Anyone try that? Any thoughts?

Personally, I have never had as many damaged envelopes in all of my years of collecting as I have the last 2 days! I have always used a plain, business sized envelope with a smaller one inside it for the return. I have never had a problem doing it like this.  It's funny how my bills never get destroyed in the mail though!

Man, Russ! You sure have had a hard time of it as of late. At least you are getting autographs. Haven't gotten any in 2 weeks. Have not been home yet today, though, and tomorrow Brandon Beachy of the Braves is signing at the team store in CNN Center, so the weekend is shaping up nicely.
