eBay Enchiladas

eBay is a weird place. Just when you think you've seen it all, something else comes up.

I recently found a Tino card I needed, and was happy to pick it up for the minimum bid. Great!
It arrived yesterday, and I expected it to come in a bubble mailer. Nope! Here's how the card arrived:
In an enchiladas box!

So, so, so bizarre. It was for one card! I must say, the card arrived safely, and did not smell like Mexican food. But still, so odd.

The seller also threw in two Cardinals cards, because sometimes when I buy Tino Cardinals cards, it's assumed I'm a Cards fan. I'll just add them to my pile for Kerry.

You know what John Sterling always says: You just can't predict eBay, Suzyn.

    That is some crazy packaging! At least it got there in one piece. Great looking card, 2002 Topps Pristine is one of my all-time favorite sets.

    I'm a little surprised they let that get shipped that way. Good thing they could read the label and they slapped a UPC code on it. I get occasional "Freebee" cards what doesn't make sense to me is when they include a card from a different sport, or a bizarre non-sport card when you bought a BASEBALL card or Football. Yes I bought this Washington Redskins card OH OF COURSE I want a New Orleans Pelicans card of E'Twaun Moore with Omer Asik. OK I didn't get that card, I don't know if those guys have shared a card I just randomly picked from the Pelican's roster list.

    Did you buy the card from Deadpool?

    Yeah, yeah - that joke would work better with a chimichanga box. Just go with it.

    You see some weird stuff coming from eBay sellers. I got a package yesterday where the stuff was packed in a box that was too small, and it bulged out to the point where the box was basically round.

    I've been seeing more creative packaging lately as well. That is a beautiful card btw, even if it's of a Cardinal.

    All I have to see is the word "enchilada" to make me hungry.

    I don't even have the base version of that Tino card, apparently. Oops.

    Most unique shipping package I've ever seen. Sweet shine on that Pristine Martinez!
