Cards that CAN and CANNOT be washed
 

Got a text from my wife earlier:

Wife - "Baseball card in washer. Cleveland. Drying"
Me - "What??? Who is on it? Name?"
Wife - "It just says Cleveland. I'm leaving it out to dry. Was in 2 cases so it was protected"
(I keep my raw T206s in a tobacco size penny sleeve and toploader)
Me - "Pic please"

My first thought was that I had brought home a Young green portrait last week from work. There was a real sense of panic. I asked her who was on the card and she sent me a photo.

Instant relief. I have 2 or 3 copies of the T206 Bradley but I can't remember why I would have had one in my pocket (unless one of my kids helped it find it's way to the washing machine).:confused:

I'm glad she caught it before it went into the dryer. From the photo there doesn't appear to be any real damage done. Maybe I'll try running a T206 with paper glued to the back through the gentle cycle to see if that works.

:eek:
