Were the taped cards just used as protection? Not uncommon, watch my recent package opening video: https://youtu.be/q4fFZ70lGHY ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

I've seen people using damaged or overproduced junk commons used that way. It is not something I do, but it is not that unusual. COMC even mentioned on the website to mark them with a big X to avoid paying scanning fee when submitting cards.

If the one card you ordered was in great shape, I see no problem. Personally, I wouldn't do that.

I will be honest,I have started toi use the Stadium Club, Score, Topps...cards that have UV coating issues as protection. At least they have some value.

I guess he didn't trust that a top loader would do the job. C2Cigars wrote: Were the taped cards just used as protection? Not uncommon, watch my recent package opening video: https://youtu.be/q4fFZ70lGHY
