Default Cards and water don't mix

Posted By: Eric (goudeyhunter)

Hey everyone,

Just an off-topic bit of advice I'd like to pass along to everyone. Tuesday night our home was flooded, and a good two feet of water managed to fight its way into every room of our lower floor (including a crawl space). Although my wife and I are most concerned about the structure of our home, and the furniture that was exposed, I wanted to pass along some simple advice about storing cards. I had the cards amassed in my youth stored in our crawl space, in plastic protective bins. At least most of them. I had several monster boxes of cards that were out in the open and not protected, and are now gone.

So just a quick reminder to everyone..keep all of your cards in a place where no water could possibly get to them. I know this is common sense that everyone know's..but sometimes we don't remember what mother nature can do to our home! Thankfully, I only lost contemporary cards that I won't lose sleep over. But it could have been a lot worse!! Take care.

Eric
