These two Franklin Mint Heirloom Recommendation Christmas Cat Plates, "Santa Claws" W1820 and "Not A Creature Was Purring" LA 5465, are super cute and in great condition. The only damage I could see is a small scratch just next to the artist Bill Bell's name on the Santa Claws plate as shown in the pics.
About me and my Shipping: I work full-time in a grocery store and get most of my boxes from there. None have had anything toxic in them, some will have slight scuffing or dents but nothing that will hinder the item from showing up in the condition described above. I try to ship with recycled, reused, or recyclable packaging as much as I can. Currently, I have an abundance of packing-popcorn leftover from a large part that got shipped to my store, I won’t usually ship with this material, but as it is free, I am reusing it in some of my packages (apologies if you hate the stuff). I typically process orders by the next day, but I have put all my processing times at three days, in case I have to do overtime or something at my day job. I live in a travel trailer, do Ebay out of a small shed, and I'm hoping to use my Ebay income to save up for a down payment on a house. Thank you for reading to this point, and considering my item, I look forward to working with you if you decide to purchase it. 😊
