I have a great kid screw up story.
My father and I had a huge and expensive stamp collection. As a bonding thing my brother and I would go with him to shows and auctions. We basically had all the US stamps MNH from 1915 to the late 80's. (prior were mostly postally used)
He bought us beautiful new leather binders and slipcases to replace everything we currently had and my brother and I went to work excitedly transferring everything to the new binders.
Instead of putting the mounts in first, letting them dry and putting in the stamps...you guessed it. We put the stamps in the mounts, licked the entire back and stuck them in the binders. The saliva went right into the mounts and stuck 60% of the stamps into the mounts ruining them.
We spent the next 2 years replacing all the damaged stamps.
I still can't believe how well my dad handled that.
