Same thing happened to me with a 1933 Goudey Ruth. Wow, that would have been a bad day if that really would have happened.

Honestly, I think the dumbest thing I've done to a card was when I was removing a T201 Johnson/Street card from a screw down holder and I didn't completely let one of the screws loose. I pulled on the card and guess what didn't come out of the holder with the card - yup, the corner... went from about a "5" to a "1" in a split second.

I've never had that happen to me but I am conscious of it every time I open a package. When it's something like a card, I always tap the package on its end to get stuff to slide to the other side. When it's a box, I'm always careful to cut only the tape and not push the blade in too far.

Sucks this happened to you.

I went to medi-center a few months ago, old steak knife to the thumb opening up a well taped box, card survived, but my thumb got glued and my wallet was less the $75 co-pay.

Ralph got off worse. The original card was only $31. Too bad, was a nice looking example.

LOL Sad part was it was only a $20+ dollar card off e-bay. That cost me $100
