Worst and dumbest day ever
So I buy a Ryan Sandberg 2013 Cooperstown signature for my set $45.00, not a bad deal. Nice blue on card auto. Get it 08/90-nice low number, clean auto.
I enter it into my data base, open my safe to file it with the rest of the set along with the Gillick I just got. (So I have two cards in my hand).
I remove my Cooperstown box from the safe (behind my desk) and set it on the shredder behind my desk, I reach inside the box to get my smaller box out and I hear this noise, something pulling my hand, CRAP CRAP CRAP, I pull my hand back, no use.
In my haste I got the cards in my hand too close to the shredder and it got one (when I put the box on the shredder it turned it to auto).
I'm saying please Please if there is a card god let it be Gillick getting chopped into a hundred pieces.
It wasn't Gillick---One very nice Ryan Sandberg auto now shredded.
I hope today is better.
If anyone knows Ryan, please don't tell him some of us shred his auto after he goes through all that work.
WORST day ever!
PS--I'm still looking to trade in your favor for 2012 or 2013 Cooperstown autos-Thanks
Will always be looking for 2012 or 2013 Panini Cooperstown Signatures for the two sets I'm building-Will trade in your favor--will ship first--Thanks

Sorry to hear of your loss. Rough one! We all have stories of our mishaps, never heard of a shedder one though. Just think though, in a couple of months, you'll be laughing about it.

OMG!!!

And now you want to trade in our favor for our autos??

I'm sorry. I don't think we can allow you to enter Heaven now.

You may want to rethink your username for the time being.
I collect Hall of Fame baseball player cards and cards of current and retired superstars.

First shredder accident I've ever heard about! Ouch, that had to be a horrible feeling. I don't think he'll ever laugh about it ... More likely 'wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat screaming' for a couple of years Smile

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
