When it arrived in the mail, I opened the 400 ct box to discover that the seller had put additional cards in the box to protect the OPC set. On either end AND on the top and bottom to stop the cards from moving around inside.
Therein lies the Shipping Bipping.
We start off slow. Four 91/92 UD Ken Daneyko
Then he gets mean.... Nine 91/92 UD Chris Joseph...
And here is where it gets odd.... not one...
not two...
not even three...
but SEVENTEEN 91/92 UD Wayne Gretzky's.
This does not even consider the 14 cards of these three players that were RIPPED IN HALF to further stuff the box full.I thought I was safe by ordering a complete set, and I still got Bipped.
And what does this say about Gretzky's career and our hobby in general when one of the most collected players in sports is used as packing material?

Actually, I think you got 51 Gretzky's.
To be fair, it's '91/92 Upper Deck. They are still printing those. I prefer '90/91 Score Hockey for packing material. They are a much thicker and sturdier card, with a little bit of bounce to absorb any shocks. Plus you can get a case for five bucks.
Well, I guess if you're going to get bipped it may as well be a Wayne Gretzky.
Kind of a scrub too right? Oh....wait, they're pretty good.
oh my - only thing more bippish (sic) would be 99 Gretzkys ...
thanks for entering the World Cup contest on my blog.
cheers
He uses Daneyko, Cujo and The Great One as packing material?
Are the Rob Ramage cards in his safe?
Pack with commons, Mr. Bizarro card shop guy!
pretty much anything in that set is considered a common.
