This reminds me of the guy who had arguably the best collection of Zeenuts east of Mark Macrae and beautiful sets of most pre-war caramel and tobacco cards with a collection which ultimately sold over for a million dollars about 15 years ago. He kept his cards in an air-conditioned basement in his house and his wife became furious at him about something and threatened to open the windows, insert the garden hose and flood the basement. Yikes!!! True story. He no longer has the cards, don't know about the wife :-)
