Can't believe it's been more than five (5) years since I posted this, but it
feels like yesterday. Instead of shipping flat, she shipped it rolled. So OK,
she sends it rolled, but her idea of "protective tubing" was white construction
paper. Results below. Veteran restorer Carol Tincup (who hates me now, long
story, join the club) - saved it for me; I later sold it. -d.

Since we’re on the always hilarious subject of bone headed, knuckle-dragging,
incompetents of shipping great paper, my worst experience was purchasing a
rare THE WOMEN half-sheet from a guy in South Carolina shipping to me in LA.
After my asking him to remove from the frame prior to shipping, he shipped in
a single-ply, already used box with no packing except one panel ONE PANEL of
bubble wrap just laid on top which barely covered half the frame. My guess is
the glass shattered somewhere between his postoffice and the closest Guns for
Christ Warehouse whereupon shards of glass continued to scratch the surface
image of the gals from East to West Coast where on arrival it looked like an
Etch-A-Sketch of squiggles composed by a 7 year old on a liter of Mountain Dew.
I tried to have someone burn down his house trailer but evidently it was
considered a State Landmark. freemanOn Oct 9, 2015, at 9:04 PM, Toochis Morin

'60 Psycho one sheet in the mail today. The sender used a bubble envelope and
simply slid the poster into it. No cardboard, no plastic bag, nothing. Didn't
even write fragile on the envelope. He just folded up the poster and stuck it
in an envelope.Luckily it arrived un-damaged.Sent from my iPhone
