On a cold, rainy day a couple years ago I decided to break the boredom by reaching into my stash of unopened wax packs and cracking a few open. I pulled out one pack each of 1980-83 Topps. After opening each pack, I admired all of the cards, relived the memories of opening them as a kid, then placed the cards in a stack on my desk before moving on to the next pack.
The last pack (’83) yielded a perfect, gorgeous Tony Gwynn rookie. As I reached to grab a Cardsaver holder with my right hand, my left hand hit the edge of my desk and I dropped the whole stack of ‘83s on the floor (with the Gwynn on top). A hefty bend appeared in the top right corner of several cards, with poor Tony taking the hardest hit.
Bye-bye perfect beauty.
