xCaLeBx is a great trader. His cards were in very good condition and he sent them promptly.
-
Trade went well.Fast delivery and good condition.
-
I agree with these. Caleb has shown quite a bit of maturity trading. I had two pleasurable experiences with them.
Only one piece of advice. I would invest in toploaders to trade, I'm sure you have been sent some (I've sent you two). They are inexpensive and are great at assuring that the mail system doesn't bend the cards. Again, just a piece of advice but regardless great trader.

I will definately grab myself a pack of those the next time I hit up walmart.....I'm sad to say me and crustpope had a bad experience but I think it was the mail that dented the cards because I am 99.9% positive they were in NM condition when I sent them... oh well sorry about that CP

Prime example of why Toploaders are so important. You should have at least two that I sent to you. Have you used those?
-
yeah I just got them when I recieved your cards (unfortunately not before sending off other peoples)

Yeah. The trade left a sour taste in my mouth.
First the trade had to be adjusted at the last minute leaving me in a lurch. I wanted his cards but some of them he evidently forgot that he traded away to someone else. We had to alter the trade a few times but I still felt a bit rushed and not sure I got exactly what I wanted.
Second. One of my cards recieved 5 equally spaced dents in it so hard that it imprinted through to the card beneath it. The cards were in regular playing sleeves with several cards inserted in each sleeve. It looks like someone took a fork to it really hard. IN Calebs defense, it definitley was done after it was put into the plastic sleeves because the dents are on the sleeves as well so it could have been some mechanical problem with the Mail.
The other problem was one of the corners on a card was dog-eared. This one looks like it has been there awhile and there is no corresponding damage to the plastic cover which leads me to believe that it was pre-existing. Personally, I dont really care much about condition as long as it is playable. all my cards go in sleeves anyway so oit isnt that big of a deal. I just would like to h ave an accurate assesment on the quality of cards that I am recieving.
caleb seems to claim that both were the result of damage in transit. It is possible that that is the case, but both could have been avoided by using hard plastic toploaders. Almost every reputable trader I know uses them. We just keep recycling the ones we get from other trades. Buying a pack to start off is a great idea for any trader.
All in all, My advice for any trader, young or old, new or experienced is this: Underpromise and overdeliver. Give them some extras, ship it fast (in otherwords dont agree to the trade until you are absolutely ready to ship) and bundle it well. Wrap it tight, make it secure and cover all your bases. You will find that this will pay dividends later on when reputable traders begin to speak highly of you. You will get favorable trades simply beause people like dealing with you. Serioulsy. Work on a good reputation and then protect it with your life. Do what you can to fix any problems that come up and work at it until everyone is satisfied.
That is the best advice I can give anyone wishing to make a trade with me or anyone else.

You counted them? o_O. I usually lose track after about 35 whenever I'm counting cards. Hard to make a deck.
