Cards that met their demise...

Posted By: Nickinvegas

A few weeks ago I went to a show and purchased an EXMint 62' Mantle and a few other star cards and put them in my shirt pocket. Unfortunataly I forgot to take them out and my wife who would sooner die then have something out of place took the shirt straight to the washing machine. I explained to her how this card managed to stay in great shape for over 40 years and spent only 40 minutes in our house and it was mangled.

This got me thinking of other cards that have met their demise in my hands. I take great care in handling my cards, but a few events have been out of my hands. Here is a short list of the victims:

CARD Cause of Death
T206 Cy Young(hand shows) Teething(1st child)
1958 Orland Cepeda(was NM+) Dinged corner placing in holder
1956 Clemente(ExMNT) Wind gust while photographing outside
1984 Fleer Matingly(Mint) Dropped and dinged corner

I am sure I am responsible for a few more...

Nick
