Today’s lesson comes courtesy of a leaking garage roof: Always ensure your collectibles cannot get wet! Store them in plastic bins when possible, and always always place them on a shelf up off the floor.

While shuffling things around in the garage to start placing shelves and content in their new locations, I left some piles of boxes that had yet to be sorted. Unfortunately the bottom (cardboard) box of one of these piles was right in the middle of the drip puddle, and its contents were Tiffany’s beloved Disney Lithograph Prints from the last 15+ years. Thankfully, some of them remained dry, but the older ones are pretty difficult to replace.

Now I’m going to have to get new plastic boxes for my hockey cards, just to be safe!
