That stinks. I don't put cards in holders when I mail them out any more... I've heard too many stories of signed card holders.
Occasionally I'll get a dinged corner, and maybe once or twice a year I'll get a creased card... but they mostly come back ok.
That sucks. I have heard of the problem just like Paul has and usually do not send them in sleeves either.
Too much work to get them out I guess. Green ink too! I don't ever remember seeing a green ink auto on a card...or a holder.
This is the first time a baseball player has done it. I had one of the trailblazers sign a penny sleeve once. I will send it back tomorrow without a holder and see what happens.
Wow, that's to bad. I think the green sharpie would have looked really nice on that card.
I've never actually heard of a player signing the holder instead of the card.
Better luck with your second attempt!
