SOMEBODY CRY WITH ME PLEASE
I JUST CAME HOME FROM THE STORE TO FIND MY SPORTS ROOM CARPET FLOODED. THROWING AWAY A 2500 COUNT BOX OF MARINERS CARDS AND THE ITEM THAT I ALMOST PASSED OUT OVER. MY 2500 COUNT BOX OF GRIFFEY DUPLICATES. PART OF MY PRIZED COLLECTION ALL WATER DAMAGED. I AM THROWING AWAY 2500 GRIFFEYS AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT. 15+ YEARS OF COLLECTING IS ABOUT TO BE GONE IN 5 MINS.

RE: SOMEBODY CRY WITH ME PLEASE
please tell me you have renter's insurance or homeowner's insurance. If so, you can get BV for every card. A buddy of mine had renter's insurance and the people above him left the bath running for 2 days. He got a lot of cash for his magic cards.
Collecting TCU Alums: LaDanian Tomlinson, Andy Dalton, Jeremy Kerley etc.
Looking for Mike Schmidt Pre-1980's, Auto, GU, and GU/Autos

Ive been there. I purchased some heavy duty utility shelves and make sure everything is atleast a foot off the ground. I lost a box of old cards from my father,bo jackson collection,signed indians photos and more due to sewer backup.
I feel your pain brother

RE: SOMEBODY CRY WITH ME PLEASE
Renters/Homeowners around here only covers it if you have an added policy for this type thing. I agree though, don't throw anything. Let them dry out first. They are still your cards. If they are loaded it may help. Either way this is awful man. I am sure quite a few of us could send some Griffey base to get you started again when your ready. Let me know!
