Hello all,
I was just telling Errers and Varietys about my bad luck with mail. Well I got my coin back from GC and here it is:
(Will send it back to PCGS when I get it reslabbed)

Slab cracked; was inside brown cardboard protector with a q-tip size hole bubble mailer has 2 holes and priority express was ripped apart and tapped back together.

I-Seem-To-Always-Have-Bad-Luck-With-Mail
And you will never believe this but I almost expect something to happen to my packages.
"If I didn't have bad luck I'd have none at all."

This came from GC.

Coins from PCGS comes in their rectangle slab box.

I figure USPS was at fault... I think I will just eat it

I think you should inform (with pics) GC and your local post office about this.

I believe it is USPS fault... probably got stuck in some kind of sorter or something...

I don't fault GC at all.

This is a coin of mine that did not sell so I had it returned.
If I do file a claim, it will be with the USPS and not GC.
Thanks everyone...
