I bumped up this old post because recently way too many of my mugs won on eBay have arrived with hairline cracks - I'd say 20%. The boxes are in good shape, so I suspect the mugs had the cracks before shipping. Super glue works its magic, and the mugs are fine for display, but it bugs me that the sellers don't acknowledge the cracks.

Anybody else having this problem? With the higher value of vintage mugs, are we starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel? Are all the good old mugs gone?
