Protect your cards from a flood!
We all think it can't happen to us, but a word of warning to all. A couple nights ago, I awoke to my entire house flooded from a broken hot water pipe. It ran about 3-4 hours and soaked through every wall. There was one room saved because my house slopes about one inch from one corner to an opposite corner and that office happened to be where I was working on my best cards. However, my closet is where I stored all my sets, wax, autographs, etc. It was on the far side of the house yet got soaked completely. Everything on the floor (bottom boxes) was damaged - Mantle and DiMaggio autos, vintage sets, 1970's to modern wax packs and boxes, etc.
Please take this as a lesson and use plastic tubs for things on the floors, or else use 2x4's or something to set everything off the floor just a bit. You cannot imagine the damage caused simply by water soaking through the walls and how fast it happens. Mark
