Last update March 24, 2024 unless otherwise noted. If the audit date is more than a month old, please ask before sending, including RAOK cards. [ ] means I no longer need a card because it was was ordered or promised to be sent or has not been put away. This list is way too long. Maybe I abandon some of these?

---------------------------------------------- OPC -----------------------------------------------
1965-68 OPC
As part of the clean up of my home from the October flooding, a plumber messed up and water went from the sink into the basement. 1965-68 OPC was in an 800 count box in the bottom stack of boxes moved out of the way for carpet repair. The cards were all* water damaged. I left them to dry but now their are all curled. I've tried to soak some commons, pat dry, and press under heavy books. First two attempts failed. Either the cards weren't soaked long enough or I didn't leave them to dry long enough. I don't know. I'm absolutely crushed about this.

If anyone is an expert on uncurling cards, please let me know. And even if I can flatten them, the cards won't be the same in my mind. I know we soak cards from albums but this soaking feels different. Any guidance or consolation is appreciated. [Who really cares about my self-created drama? When I grow up and act like an adult, I'll get rid of all this nonsense.]
* Two cards were in hard plastic. '68 Clemente and '68 Koosman.
