David PosesRecently, I was a victim of a fellow board member's senior moment and did my best to convince myself that the perpetrator hadn't absconded to a tropical island with a small amount of my cash and a common e96 in fair condition. Said board member finally located said darn card within a stack of slabbed cards; the card in question had managed to get stuck to the back of an SGC graded card...
I don't think my age qualifies me as a senior citizen (32) and I don't know if the following incident qualifies as senior or just careless, but about a year ago I had assembled 150 cards from the 1952 Bowman set- all were in great shape. No megastars, but it was still a valuable pile of cards. In typical me fashion, I grew tired of a set and wanted to dump all of them in one lot, so I put a listing on eBay and the cards sat, unprotected, in a stack in my desk drawer at work. I spilled a cup of coffee, which managed to runoff into the drawer and soil every card. Needless to say, I pulled the listing, contacted the bidders, and kicked myself.
