WTH?

I recently won an auction on eBay.  A Rod Carew card I didn't have for .49 cents shipped?  sure, what the heck.

It took a week and a half to get here.  Not the end of the world.  But when I opened it

that was my reaction.  What I got was

an empty toploader.  Seriously??

Query

Returning to the land of the living here in Junk Wax land.  So I'll do a quick post with two tangentially related ideas.

I recently won a couple of auctions on eBay (hint: that's the link), which showed up the other day.  Guess how much I paid for these guys:

There's a slight paper loss on Mr. Hamlin there. 

And there are the lightest creases that I literally have to hold in the light just right to see.

So how much did I pay?

For 53 year old cards?



52 cents.

Combined.

I'm pretty happy with that.  Not exactly Dime Box, but I'll take Quarter Box.


And now for idea number 2...
I won an auction on eBay back on December 10.  I just now realized that I never got it.  How long is too long to say anything?  Is it too late to ask about the card?

"Hey, I won an auction forever ago......"
