Why are so many idiots sending movie posters or lobby cards in PADDED emvelopes??? We are not dealing here with something that might break! We need to secure against dents, nicks and bending. The obvious answer is that the card/poster needs to be well protected by a sufficient number of PROPER cardboards. And I say PROPER because too many sellers, even "EXPERIENCED" ones, are using leftover scraps of cardboard, which are often smaller than the lobby card, bent to begin with, or simply too thin or not enough of it. I guess some people just don't have the "feel" of what the hell this hobby is all about.
