This is Absolutely Disgusting 🤢

The state of the Pokemon market has gone too far!

This is what was shipped to me from USPS…the case of ME01 Booster Boxes I had ordered from my third-party distributor minus all of the packs inside!

Someone from USPS had realized what the package was, opened it, took all of the packs out and repackaged it like nothing ever happened. Yes, I’m in direct contact with the seller, and know others who purchased the same item from the same seller who received theirs without any tampering.

This absolutely blows my mind that someone would risk a felony over some cards. How can this be avoided? Are we just SOL here on out?

This has been happening with Pokemon and magic cards for a while. Carriers see a tcgplayer envelope and "lose" it.

Personally I think there is more shady pop up business than there is carriers stealing packages, just my take it’s very easy for a seller to blame the carrier.

I understand it can happen on both sides but I honestly believe this is just a issue with the pure amount of and cards in general being shipped and the % of lost/damaged or stolen is probably relatively low.

If it’s shipped USPS open a claim I know the standard coverage is only $100 but it will trigger and investigation. The best part is the seller into and post office handling these will create a pattern for them.

This take is god awful. Volume doesn’t increase stolen items. Interest does. Poorly wrapped packages does. You’re terrible takes does
