Back in Black

One of my 2021 Goals is to add 50 NEW Cutch cards to the collection from his Pirates playing days (2005-2017).  That equates to roughly 1 new pre 2018 Cutch card each week.  I have been (barely) keeping pace with that strategy for much of this year.

The card you see below was my first purchase of 2021.  Because it was shipped via PWE there was no tracking on it and it took almost 9 weeks to be delivered.
This 2014 Topps Finest Black Refractor is Numbered 42/99.  I have a love/hate relationship with 2014 Topps Finest.  I both love and hate the design. 
Fun fact: Cutch hit a 5th walk-off homer for the Pirates in 2015. 

I can finally leave feedback for this January 1st purchase.
What is the longest you have had to wait for a card to arrive during this crazy times we are living in now?

  1. Good question. I've definitely had a few long waits. I also notice my packages getting scanned as "delivered" but then I dont get them for another day or two...but maybe thats just my postal carrier.

    1. As I understand it, with the new eBay envelopes, they are scanned when they're put on the truck, not when they're delivered...but for whatever reason, the email notification says they were delivered. Obviously causes a lot of agita.

  2. MY BIGGEST FEEDBACK ISSUE WOULD BE WAITING FOR "THOSE" SELLERS WHO REFUSE TO LEAVE FEEDBACK. MOST OF THEM JUST WANT TO GET THEIRS FIRST. I DISAGREE WITH THAT PHILOSOPHY (IT'S BLACKMAIL), AND SOME JUST DON'T DO FEEDBACK. AS FOR THE 2014 FINEST....I LIKE IT, REMINDS ME OF THE 1993-94 WITH A MODERN TWIST.

  3. Glad that the card finally arrived! You must've been very patient, the seller too. It's scary, a bit, that things are still so slow. I have a hate-hate relationship with Finest.

  4. I don't think I've had to wait longer than 2 or 3 weeks for an eBay purchase. That being said... I recently sold some items on eBay and it took one item 2 weeks to get to the buyer and almost 4 weeks for the other. I was super stressed out, because they weren't lowend items. Glad they arrived safely though.
