"The sewage line busted in the basement which ruined almost all of our belongings and my entire Pokémon collection. The cards in my binders, all of my sealed/loose packs had been soaking in the sewage water for about 2-3 days from what I'm being told, but since the storage room is closed off, we did not smell or see any of the flooding."
"Unopened packs of Astral Radiance, Surging Sparks, Chilling Reign, Stellar Crown, and more lay on a grey basement floor after having sat in pools of contaminated water from a broken sewer line."
"It hurts that I lost a multiple thousand dollar collection, but it really just hurts from losing all the memories."
A collector's sealed and opened Pokémon card collection was soaked in contaminated sewage water after a basement sewer line burst. Unopened packs from sets including Astral Radiance, Surging Sparks, Chilling Reign, and Stellar Crown lay on a grey basement floor after sitting in pools of contaminated water. The binder collection included rare cards such as Moonbreon and Tomokazu Komiya Charmeleon. The storage room was closed off, so the flooding went undetected for about two to three days, allowing sewage to soak the cardboard boxes and contents. The collector had been storing boxes in the basement while living with grandparents after taking a pay cut to help open a family business. The loss caused thousands of dollars in damage and significant sentimental loss of memories.
