The latest in my ongoing mail saga: It's been past three business days since I sent my stolen mail service request; they say they will get back to you in 1-3 business days but of course they did not. Meanwhile, in my USPS Informed Delivery daily email, I was supposed to get two PWEs of cards today, but neither arrived. Given the timing, it seems quite possible that this is retaliation for the stolen mail claim. So now the USPS is stealing my mail coming and going, and I can't do anything about it. I really don't want to think about what happens to my collecting if I can't rely on mail coming or going.
Anyway . . .
The player, in brief: Craig Robinson played 292 games in the major leagues, almost exactly half (145) in 1974, when he was the Braves regular shortstop, hitting .230 with 0 HR and 29 RBI. In six seasons with Atlanta, Philadelphia and San Francisco, he hit .219 with 0 HR and 42 RBI.
Post-playing career, in brief: Robinson held a number of unusual jobs after his playing career. He managed in the Braves organization, was a cameraman for TBS, ran a steel foundry, and worked his way up from dealer to pit boss to host manager at a casino.
My collection: I have four of his cards, from 1974 to 1976. I would be interested in trading for 1975 O-Pee-Chee #367.

ReplyDeleteI don't use the informed delivery, but I have read that in theory at least, even though they say daily, it can sometimes be for what you're gonna get in a few days. It's seems had to believe that the USPS itself would be trying to spite you (though I have heard of crazier happenings), but it's entirely plausible that whoever's in charge of the local area might be. Though, people send in complaints all the time, and aren't then harassed for doing so.
