Default Your most expensive accident

Posted By: George Dreher

I feel a little sick. I just now accidentally put a crease through a photo signed by Johnny Weissmuller. Dropped a heavy box on it and didn't realize it was sitting there.

Two other accidents that this brings to mind. Years ago, I accidentally bent a mint unused ticket to the Dempsey vs. Willard fight trying to fit it into a plastic sleeve. And once accidentally got a piece of tape stuck to a near mint early 1940s Captain Marvel comic book. A piece of the cover came off with the tape.

I handle so many collectibles during the course of a day, I guess this stuff is bound to happen, but it still gives me a headache and an upset stomach. My wife had to massage my shoulders to keep me from going berserk.
