[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2601423, member: 77413"]This is more funny than sad, fortunately. Sometimes a dealer will toss in a little token of appreciation for a purchase. I have received a 1958 cent, some sports cards, and pens. I got the mailer containing a cent I was waiting for. Confounded by plenty of sealing tape, I sliced off the end with a pair of scissors. A little piece of paper fluttered to the table. I reached in, and found that I had sliced a Canadian banknote in two. I don't collect currency, but I was still disappointed that I had ruined this nice gift. I was even more disappointed about an hour later when I got an email from the seller. He wanted to know if there was an extra banknote in my package - another buyer was missing it! I could only send him the picture and my apologies. [ATTACH]567930[/ATTACH] He sent the other customer a better note and had a good laugh about the photo.[/QUOTE]
