Jimmy Connors always likes to test the quality of international mail services, but this one, I think only just made it!

Comment by Jennifer Wallace yesterday: Predrag - tell Jimmy, not me? He's addicted to what's been a theme in mail art right from its origins, with people trying out sending all sorts of mad things.

Comment by Predrag Petrovic yesterday: Actually, it was so easy to prevent this type of damage: just laminate with sellotape or any similar tape, and it will prevent sorting machine to break or tear the card. It was so negligible not to do that, it requires a minute and it saves the card !

Comment by Jennifer Wallace yesterday: Once, I received mail from Jimmy in a German postal service plastic envelope stamped with something like 'damaged in transit' on it. I'm surprised this didn't get that treatment.

Comment by Zorica Obradović on Saturday: It's still nice

Comment by Predrag Petrovic on Saturday: Kind of strange. Similar happened with a card he sent to me around a year ago. I don't like to receive damaged mail. Sometimes, it is done by sorting machines. So one needs to be cautious when preparing pieces to send abroad.
