JoannNo losses, but one close call with a spilled glass of OJ one morning with a few cards spread on the kitchen counter.  
I removed them all in about 5-10 seconds, and thought later it was interesting how I was just instantly prioritizing about 6 or 8 cards.  Based on some combination of proximity to the OJ, slab v top loader, and value of the card I just snapped them up from different spots in seconds instead of just starting at one end and going to the other.

Oh - tbob.  Awhile ago I sent six cards to PSA and they called me to report that one of the cards was damaged - part of the print on the front came off.  Interesting, because when I talked to the PSA rep he used that exact term "exploded".  He said it just sort of exploded and some of the front image came off.  I bet it was a similar condition.
