I'm re-upholstering my sedan including the door cards. The drivers' side rear card seems to be new with plastic sheeting over the vinyl. It is red vinyl. It would be a shame to ruin this so if anyone wants it, all they have to do is swap me a poor condition one. Otherwise I will just go ahead and cover it like the other ones.

How long could you wait for the swap? I am sure I have a black one here I would be willing to trade, I am just not sure what shipping would be and how long it would take. Not a heavy item, just bulky.

I think OS swap might be a bit too much. Too expensive and more likelihood of damage. Thankyou though. Hopefully an AU member would like one and I won't have to strip this nice one.

Hi there! It would be a shame to waste such a good card. I have a crappy but flat one I could swap. Its the sort of thing easiest done in person at the Nationals, but it could probably be freighted strapped to a sheet of plywood to protect it. I'd be happy to pay the freight if it can be done. I'll ask at this end, and you could just re-use the plywood for the return.
Thanks for the offer, Cheers, Matt.

Hi Matt, Sounds good - I would just use the heavy duty cardboard option and mark it "DO NOT BEND" all over. That's a great idea, it would feel a lot better to use a crappy card. I won't be sending handles or anything, I'm going to polish the ones I have. Thankyou!!
