Here is a story with pictures: an eBay tale of horror.

I bought a Tiger brand game, not particularly rare or vintage, but I was happy to get it.

Here is the parcel I received. Good, it was packed in a box, not in an evelope that could get squashed.



Taking the contents out, I see that the game is surrounding by bubble wrap. That's good to see -- the seller took care in protecting the merchandise.



Removing the bubble wrap, I see the game looks fine.



How about the back of the package? Looks OK.



But what is this? A little hole beneath the letter R?




Let's look a little closer at this discovered defect. That's disappointing, I wanted the item to be free of such obvious imperfections.



Hmmm, what could cause such a hole? I look closely at the area near the hole. AAAAAAAAH! A spider?!



AAAAAAAAAAAH!



And there were other flattened spiders besides that one, which you can spot if you look carefully. Very small spiders.

There was nothing in the auction description about the spiders.

You should have emailed the seller before the auction ended to ask whether the item had spiders... Laughing
