I combined shipping and paid a total of $20.15 for everything. I waited and waited and then saw the cards back on ebay for sale. I messaged the guy asking what the heck was going on. He said he had been in the hospital and his grandson was supposed to be taking care of things for him. He said he would make it up to him. I got the cards in the mail shortly thereafter along with a $20 bill.

Sometimes they make up for the terrible way the seller packaged the cards, or sometimes they use them as the sacrificial card to take the tape damage. Rookie sellers using regular tape to ship cards out. Sometimes the sellers just want to dump off some common penny cards. That explains the occasional getting a football freebie when you ordered all baseball, or getting an oddball non-sport card as a freebie. Many sellers use the freebies as a way to get rid of what they consider garbage, others use it as a tool to try to entice you to become a repeat customer. I usually just try to look for deals on cards I still want or need especially if they help on a set build. I rarely even notice who the seller is anymore. I do tend to stick with US sellers mostly to insure the quick shipping and to get the shipping tracking. Even with sportlots I don't check the sellers much, I really should because there have been a few I have gotten upset with.<br />CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-2604646884017945652016-06-24T05:43:02.244-07:002016-06-24T05:43:02.244-07:00I've received a few freebies over the years.

I messaged the seller yesterday, and he said he had shipped the card. Today it finally popped up in the USPS tracker at my local sorting station. I had a few other packages in the last couple of weeks that seemed to be hung up for a while before updating when they hit my local processing center.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-70763401434272160592016-06-23T17:56:36.696-07:002016-06-23T17:56:36.696-07:00That Moncada is sweet.
