  2. The card arrived in excellent condition despite the efforts of the US post office to return it to the sender even though it had the correct address on it ? Seller was very co-operative in communicating and then re sending the card again packaged very securely. Shipped quickly, despite the post office problem. The card is old but it was better than the description in the listing. I am very pleased and I recommend the seller highly.
