Agreed. Not major, but I don't ship any slabs without a bag.

I have said it before, I once received a slab delivered on a pizza box from an ebayer, no problem. I have received cracked slabs from cgc. That's life in the fast lane. Those that comlplain at mere things need to check out the little kids in the Children's Hospital and let me know how their day is going in comparison. Anyone care to start a thread of anything positive?

If Metropolis happens to be reading this thread:
I saw the email today and the part about the collectible wine bottles available for sale (signed by Stan Lee) seems to be SERIOUSLY ILLEGAL.
Please do some research regarding the shipping or selling of alcohol. (Especially interstate shipping.) I don't believe you have an alcohol license and the "Collectible Tag" as found on eBay does not apply to wine bottles.

CGC: if you're reading this. I read the thread about you charging for graders notes.
Do the requisite research (read the thread about it here).
You can get Stan Lee to sign every single one of them and include a bottle of wine with each submission and you still couldn't ask the price you're asking.

To be fair this has nothing to do with a children's hospital or positive versus negative threads. And I understand your post; there are much more serious issues out there.
Comic shipping 101 is to tape the comic to cardboard that is larger than the CGC case to create a buffer zone and it looks like Metro did it wrong this time.

Spent plenty of time there with a seriously ill child and wept at the sight of children far sicker than ours.
There's also massive injustices that happen daily in our world...however, this is a board of COLLECTORS and fellow hobbyists who seem to look out for one another or share experiences. I don't remember writing anything that said "Metropolis ruined my life" or "This is the worst thing that has ever happened to anyone".
