One in a million
I had something unusual happen today.
I was scanning a group of 1980's Cleveland Indians photos. As I was stacking them, a small pile slid off of the table and somehow slid into the opening of my shredder, which was set on auto. Before I could react, 10 of the photos were shredded. I could probably try to do this a thousand times and none of them would end up in the shredder. Usually, the shredder is in the "off" position, but today it was set on "auto". Should I buy a lottery ticket or should I lock myself in my house to prevent any more of these one in a million occurences? Fortunately, these weren't T206's or Goudey's.  Rick

Rick,
That is awful. I can't imagine the look on your face when when you saw that shredder chewing away the photos. They say that lightning never strikes twice in the same spot. I believe that you have just been struck by your lightning. Don't buy a lottery ticket. Use your money to buy some cards. I think that you can sell these photos. Just include in your description that the edges have some light chipping. Last edited by Buythatcard; 04-30-2018 at 08:02 AM.

In this case there appears to be a shred of evidence.

Ugh, that's got to be infuriating. I once picked up a pretty rare variation of an item (I've only seen or heard of three total). I took it out of the top loaded to examine it, took a step, and walked right into the wall with it. I ended up with a one inch tear in it. Needless to say, I put it in the toploader and immediately put it in my safe to protect it from me. My dog and my son have never destroyed a single card, yet I'm rough as can be.
I hope these weren't too valuable?

You should get them graded. The TPG will likely assign an "Authentic - Shredded" grade to them.

Sorry to hear of this. Yes, you should be grateful there were not any T206 or HOFers. You may have ended up with a shredded Wheat.

I was examining one of my Latin American vintage cards, which was worth around two thousand dollars, near the washroom (I like the lights). It somehow popped out of my hand and ended up in the sink! From where I was standing, I could have tried a hundred times to throw it in the sink, and I would have missed each time, but this one time it accidentally happened, it went right in. It ended up getting a small water stain on the reverse side (I'm lucky that the sink was mostly dry).

Thanks for all of the replies
These were only worth around a buck each, if that. A few years ago I was sitting at my desk looking at a card and it slipped out of my hands. I quickly closed my legs together to catch the card and I bent the card in half. It was a nice 1933 Goudey. The thing is that if I had just let it go it would have fallen onto the carpet without any damage.
