Back in the 1970's when I was a collector my kids at that time where 2 & 3 years old. They got into my card room and started taking stacks of cards out of drawers (this was before platic pages) and just throwing them up in the air. My wife waited till I got home from work and sat me down to tell me. I raced up stairs to my room and could not see the carpet for all the cards everywhere. Complete sets of Goudeys, Play Balls, Diamond Stars ect. thrown everywhere. I was sick. It took me hours to sort all the cards. I was still missing one 1933 Goudey. I searched everywhere. I don't know how it got up there but it was in the ceiling light cover. Believe it or not I don't think any card was really damaged.
