Card Handling

onlychild

Ever ruin a card by placing it in holder, dropping it or by accident. There must be some great examples of this.

ugh

one time, i had a mint second year Jordan card that i was gonna show to my friend. put it in my pocket, went over to his house, then realized I FORGOT TO PUT IT IN A TOP LOAD FIRST. yeah it had several nice creases.

i've cracked 3 PSA slabs before, each time i damaged the card and my fingers.

numerous cards were ruined when i tried to remove em from toploads, flipped my wrist too hard, and sent em flying into the wall.

and my personal fave- used to have a Bird Erving Magic rookie when i was about 7. i had no idea of the value or anything. i took a pair of scissors, and cut the card in to thirds so each piece could fit in my wallet photo album

It used to be them Stinkin' SGC slabs that gave me a problem. Broke out an SGC NMM+ Dan Dee, Early Wynn and it snapped sideways on me. Left a nasty indentation.
Put me in a bad mood.

goodriddance - you mean like this?



Yes, I've owned this since the set's release ... like heck I was gonna have a Laker and a Celtic ruining a perfectly good Dr. J card ...

I accidentally destroyed my brother's Winfield rookie back in about 1986. I was putting it into a plastic sheet when the edge of the card caught the edge of the plastic. It ripped part of the paper on the front--similar to how your skin gets cut via a paper-cut.

He had never let me forget about it until this weekend when he stumbled across a raw '71 Clemente of mine. I'd say it would grade a 4 MAX--maybe worth $20-30 graded. I let him have it for a dollar under the stipulation that he never mention the "Winfield Disaster" ever again. If you know how my brother can never let bygones be bygones, you'd know that I got off cheaply!
