ChasingBlueSky 0 #1 July 18, 2003 *sigh* Cleaning up after the storm that hit Chicago last night. Basement flooded - rush of water was so strong that it knocked over the tables I stored everything on top of. My entire childhood comic book collection is now ruined. My entire first floor is being used to try to dry them out ....but the sewage smell on them may cause me to bring them to the bonfire this weekend. It looks like I may ONLY be able to save Spawn #1-3. That means I am losing about 8 years of comics. Edit to add: May not make it to the DZ this weekend because I have to bleach the basement now._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

dterrick 0 #3 July 18, 2003 VIBES!! I hope you have an understanding insurance agent and suitable coverage. I had a friend go through a similar disaster so I feel your pain. While you likely will never be able to replace your entire collection, a 'reasonable' cheque will allow you to seek out that which you miss most and move ahead with whatever presently consumes you. Good luck. -Dave Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend (Lennon/McCartney) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What makes it worse - is that my collection is probably large enough to be the same value of a full new rig, main and reserve._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

If you saw the table I had them stored on, you would have thought it was a safe place._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
