Oh so true!! I have had a few people I've traded with that used just envelopes without bubble wrap inside. The most recent time this happened, two chips were sent, but only one chip arrived. The other had been forced out tearing through the envelope. Of course, it was the chip that I wanted the most, and the person didnt have any others. Murphy's rule at its best. The trader of course made good on the chip, replacing it with a different chip. When i explained the need to use bubble mailers...they told me they had been mailing chips like this for a long time without any mishaps. At least until they came to me! Murphy's rule again. Soooo---the moral of this story boys and girls: Maybe you've been lucky so far...but you should switch to bubble mailers before you we have to say we told you so. Don't press your luck, because it WILL happen...sooner or later.
