Default cards oops story

About 12 years ago, I was removing a beautiful 1963 Fleer Roberto Clemente
from one of the old "screwdown" holders. It had been there for 15 years before
that, so 1 of the screws was resisting, I couldn't get it loose. I pulled the
loose plastic area away from the rest of the card and really put some torque
into the remaining screw. This action caused a reaction- my screwdriver slid
vertically the length of the entire card! I turned a "7" grade into a ".7" grade!
