Default Well, this sucks...
One of my favorite cards I own, now pretty much worthless. I don't know how water even got close to the card.

Wow - so unfortunate. Looks like it was a fair amount of water, too. Not just moisture damage from a fireproof safe or something similar.

The whole case was just soaked, a lot of water. I thought I may have torn the card from being completely soaked, but I guess I got lucky

Did you consign it in a GAI slab about 4 (maybe more) months ago?

I got it from an auction house.

Was this card inside the slab when it got soaked or cracked out and raw?

That's tough luck. Perhaps you should still let the card dry between a few paper towels and under some books and see how it goes. The signature is ruined, but the card may still be rescued.

Yeah I cracked it out, slab was awful.

Wasn't too worried about card condition since it's trimmed etc. But signature is gone so worthless to me unfortunately.

That card is still safely in a private collection, as far as I know. Very similar, but not miscut as this one is. I think this was that one:

Default water-stained card
Nah, man. It's still good. It's not mint, but you can still see the sig. I wouldn't worry about it.

I basically agree with this sentiment. It's still what it was before soaking - a Wheat-signed T201. Value may be diminished, but certainly not destroyed.

Was on my nightstand and I found out my tervis has a leak and just drained out on top of my nightstand from the bottom.

I know, it's completely 100% my fault for being an idiot, I just liked looking at the card so that's why it was there.

Tough lesson learned.

What a bummer. That's why I hardly ever sleep with my cards. I did wake up with Smoking Joe recently, though.
