My Maarfi was collecting basketball cards in the American Professional League for thirty years.
This is not a kind of innocent children's hobbies, we are talking about something dangerous, at least seriously like stamps. There are adults who are able to get rid of this passion, which, of course, is a prerequisite for being enthusiastic about the basketball and the American Professional League version.
Although I am not a mosque, I completely understand those who feel buying and give these cards. I went to 33 years, but unfortunately, I did not go to the American Professional League matches, starting with the Orlando game every 1992. You know, then he had HIV. Magic Johnson He got out of his retirement and became MVP for the match with 25 points and 9 decisive passes. He also got the last three -point shooting basket, Michael Jordan In front of his nose.
I was there at the United Center and the Delta Center at the Chicago Bulls Championship 1996, 1997 and 1998, I visited the only American Professional League basket, David Cornell In Chicago and Toronto.
Therefore, cards university whims are not unknown to me.
The seriousness we are talking about, imagine that the Upper Deck Gold/23 RPA BGS 9 of the 2003-2004 season, Lebron James's Rookie Season 2003-2004 found $ 5.2 million at a public auction. Because the American Professional League cards also have auctions and auctions, as if they were paintings and treasures. The card can be the most valuable as it deserves Picasso or Rambrant.
Now these cards are used, before the auction, to check incredibly advanced companies, evaluate goods, and evaluate the amount of what they can get at each auction. The test company offers a reality certificate. Something like lineage, and Sipunkle for original dogs.
Test in Picky
Well, my standards also decided to send some cards to a test company to Germany. We are talking about a recognized company, Beckett and its continental company, Pecate Europe. For estimate with Technicus English Terminus Grades Her name. In the past, cards had to be sent to the United States for testing, but since the United States was not a member of the European Union, the duty to pay a duty at the time of handing over the card. This danger is not threatened by Picky in Germany.
My friend gave up a small package a few weeks ago containing six cards in the American Professional League. The cost of the shipment itself is nine thousand forts, and the six cards were between 4000 and 5,000 dollars, and at least a million and a half million forts in the current transfer cycle. The cards were transferred to Germany by UPS to BecKETT. In the usual way, the transport path was available on the Internet in the actual time, and the information that the package was now at Liszt Ference International, the next day was in Bielefeld the next day, but he did not reach the recipient until he returned to the sender on the eighth day.
My friend caught the earth when he saw the package. She appeared from the outside, and felt that she was divided as she turned between UPS workers. One missing card was from the six and the rest was seriously injured. Two sheets were folded in two halves, and each of them was naked in the cardboard box, which means that the perpetrator of the crime removed the entire protection package from the square, where my university acquaintances were carefully wrapped. At the time of transmission, the shipment pressed 200 grams when it returned, with only 77 grams of weight …
My friend, of course, complained to the carrier, then informed the German police and published a session on Facebook.
Police report
I first tried to submit a report to the Hungarian police, the eleventh. In the area, but after two and a half hours of waiting, it was talked about because the Hungarian police have no specialty here. On the advice of a ready officer, my friend called the German police. The model had to be completed online – a full 15 -minute process, then the report was circulated between different departments, and the investigation began a few days ago.
Many questions, zero answers
In the case of the case, we discovered the prevalence of theft, the loss of the package, and we surprised, we found many modern posts on social media, where Lee owners are searching for their college (such as the Lebron James card signed from 8000 to 9000 dollars). Meanwhile, we sent our questions to the UPS Press Department, claiming that we recently met with many cases where the luggage disappeared and damaged.
There is no answer to our questions, so we will share our message with the reader:
The first in 2024, how many complaints were around the world?
2. Where do the number of thefts committed by its employees increases from the highest level?
3. What is the percentage of discovering internal checks?
4. How are customers compensated on the balcony?
5. What are the measures that were taken in the past half to prevent theft and what they are planning in the future? Perhaps more rigorous internal monitoring?
6. How much is the value of customers to theft in 2024?
7. Finally, how much compensation was paid last year, whether the customer was secured or not?
SHIPMYCARDS cards are shipped with FEDEX
SHIPMYCARDS is a service that helps the plural enthusiasts to transfer and store sports cards and other sports springs. We talked to the owner of the company and the Managing Director, Brian Wales, who went to Vienna last week and took time to answer some of our questions.
We asked him to talk about his relationship with his partner in transportation and show them how to make sure that the customer pack will reach the most security. His words revealed that because of his lack of reliability, UPS is now ignored and transferred with FEDEX.
“In 2024, we delivered 24,811 packages, more than half of which was transferred to our international sports card collectors. In 2024, approximately 14,000 packages were delivered by FEDEX, which cost our customers about 277 million Forint. We have often used UPS before, but in case there is a problem we did not get real help in solving parking and did not receive accounts from the shipment company. Our main consideration when choosing our partner in shipping.
According to the owner of the work, there are no complaints on FEDEX.
“By giving up more than 20,000 packages annually, there, of course, cases where packages arrive or disappear, but this is in fact one or two only in the month from the 2200-2400 that we provided. We are working with a FedEX safety service to reduce the number of thefts and make sure that we use the best package for each shipment. In recent years, we have improved our service and used the huge cardboard boxes Individual, follow the recommendations related to the brand free, and to cooperate closely and with its immediate and immediate situation, we also hide the GPS tracking tools in the case of customers' request, and use many other technological solutions to avoid theft. To her.
In conclusion, we were asked if there were cases in which the shipment was successfully stolen. We also asked whether the theft was his own factor, whether the shipment company had caused damage and caused damage.
“Last month, the first time in the life of the ship's cards was that we clearly faced the theft. Epost examined it internally and found nothing at the beginning, but after sending it to the stolen sports cards on the EBY, they continued the investigation and contacted one of their employees. The perpetrator was arrested and we are currently working to pay the amount.”
Who takes responsibility for my friend? Will there be a happy ending?
Soon I received a complaint from my friend in the interesting service provider of response, as UPS is not competently competently competent, but it was not achieved in the damage (crime) and its responsibility indicated the lack of insurance. In many cases, insurance was not a solution, according to the experience of the plural enthusiasts – the insurance company does not always pay for the shipments of “small and high value” between the insecurity of insurance. If everyone turns responsibility themselves, what can be done? We trust our knowledge of the German police and the bodies of Hungarian arbitration, but they are also the beginning of long civil litigation.
Before the operation is directed to a legal method, the German police and the Hungarian office will find UPS again, and in the meantime you got valuable internal information. Since the information related to your package is a leaked secret, we cannot cover the source or its content yet, but we will report the results of the case as soon as it is closed.
