Doug that sucks. For two pieces to have made it through
60 plus years only to have some nimrod feel the mail service was
handled by a butterfly's wings is just outrageous. I would neg
him.
Reminds me of my two disasters. First was paying a
fortune for a mint vinyl Jawa (Star Wars collectors know the small figure I am
referencing where an extremely limited amount were made with a vinyl cape in
lieu of wool which proved far more durable) and it was shipped with zero
packing simply stuck in a white business envelope. The other was a
guy shipped me the only known halfsheet style B from the original release of THE
WOMEN without taking it out of its metal frame and regular glass
plane. He placed halfsheet in a box with several inches to
spare on all sides with only one paper dinner napkin taped
over two-thirds of the glass and nothing else. Shattered glass simply
rocked back and forth across the three stars faces from Durham to LA. I
was so pissed off I shipped the broken glass back to him hoping he would cut
himself.
