Threw an expecting card away...

[alanu]

I never threw a card away, but I did drop a t206 Joss one time and rolled over it with my chair. It was in a card saver but it added a nice crease to it.

Last time we moved I found cards everywhere I wouldn't expect. There was even an SGC graded card in the baby's crib.

I remember once throwing away a card accidentally, but I don't think it was expecting. Heck, I don't think it had ever been kissed.

I hate that you wake up earlier than me.

Was that baby Finster?

I cut one in half once opening an envelope from ebay, and then threw it away.

Does that count?

[ullmandds]

nope...just cut a corner off one?!

Never threw a card away. But had a "houseguest" steal a high grade Nolan Ryan rookie from me.

Never tried to prove they took it or accuse them. Had to just eat the cost.

Still pisses me off to this day.

And trust me, I know who took it..

I was recently trying to find a card that I knew I had just rearranged the display of the day prior. It was sitting on top of a picture frame that acts as a shelf for some graded cards. Yet I could not find it anywhere. I asked my wife if she had seen it.

Finally I told her the only thing I could think of was that the card had fallen and my 20 month old daughter had gotten it. So my wife went up stairs looking for it and found it in my daughters room next to her toys.

I decided it could be hers if she wanted it that bad so now it is displayed in her room.

My wife threw a present she gave me once when she was cleaning up the wrapping and boxes she thought I had taken it out of a box. I hadn't, yet we figured that one out before the trash was taken to the dumpster. That is the closest I have gotten to something thrown out.

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.

I did accidentally throw away a super bowl II press pin once...that one stings to this day!!!!!

"[h]ow many of you have purchased a card, and you were so ecstatic about that card, could it be that you accidentally threw it away?"

I haven't had much coffee yet today, but I don't understand the causal relationship between (1) being excited about receiving a card and (2) throwing it in the garbage?

Back in the day, before I discovered prewar cards, women use to do that to me all the time .

Lovely Day...

I was excited and looking forward to receiving this card, and I was delivered to me (tracking number confirms) on the 24th, and must not have sorted through my mail well enough, and off it goes into the recycling...

This Frisch card just sold on Ebay, minutes ago. Sorry about the late notice. I just made the connection.

Ended with no bids. I guess he, or someone else from Minnesota, found it.
