The Hope Diamond was sent from NYC to the Smithsonian via USPS Registered Mail, and it's worth a few hundred million more than this Pokemon card.
I can only assume this will go to court and the middle man company has to be found at fault since they signed for packages without confirming the contents of the bulk package. Sure we all sign for things without confirming, but with a tracking number they would have KNOWN it would be delivered that day.
a roundtrip plane ticket around the world costs 1600$ max, thats still a $58,400 profit
plus you get a vacation out of it
So you just take the word of the middle man company that after signing for the packages it was there?
imagine shipping something of 60k value with the post office and not UPS/Fedex
imagine buying that for 60k
The card itself is apparently valueless now since it is registered among all the other rich collectors who would be able to buy it
It's not worthless per se, only that it's provenance is unclear. If found, nobody credible will touch that card if it's rightful owner can't be determined.
God bless dhl. Ordered a tv off Amazon once that missed it's delivery date by 3 weeks, dhl handling, and when it finally showed up it was 2 guys in a pickup truck.
what the fuck at that charizard collection. I only had one and it was stolen.
The only thing I would pay $60,000 for is an old Disney VHS tape whose auction is obviously being used as a front for drug trafficking

Who wants to pay 1.5 million dollars for a collection you could assemble at Good Will for $20
Do you know how many trainers they had to beat to trade for this card?no its not
a precious gem was probably dug out of a remote location, filled with hazards, and its a mineral that was produced within the earth over hundreds of years.
this is a printed card with cartoon characters on it

Registered Mail is tracked every step of the way, secured in a safe, and cannot be delivered without an in-person signature. If your carrier is cutting corners on priority expresses or certified mail, that's one thing, but on a Registered? At best they'll get fired; at worst, the Inspection Service will get involved.
I don't mean anything negative about this, but are you in the Continental Americas or are you more a Eurasian person?
The reason I ask is because the issues with Amazon and DHL sound familiar. I don't think your a person I met but I have had similar issues with Amazon and DHL and international shipping before.
DHL once left my college transcript on a random window ledge outside of my apartment building (and I was home at the time of the delivery).Yeah in the States, DHL SUCKS.
Internationally they seem to do much better. It's weird.
Explain this to me please, is this the sixth season of the Wire
lol there was a dumb Internet rumor a few years ago, especially being spread around through Facebook memes that was like WOW YOUR BLACK DIAMOND DISNEY VHS TAPES ARE WORTH THOUSANDS to the point that Snopes had to do an article about it
10% of ERA posters would choose "art" over people's lives, I wonder if expensive Pokemon cards are included in that.
I agree, the evidence points in the other direction, that they didn't lose it.I have a lot of problems with USPS but there is zero evidence presented in the story that USPS lost this item
