List of cards lost to flood. With pictures.

I've finished going through my duplicate stashes and whatnot, and I was able to replace about 15 cards. But the number lost still stands at 245. I thought  was going to be able to get away without losing many Star Wars cards but they curved as they dried, some worse than others.

These are some of the worst damaged. It's kind of hard to see the damage because of the camera flash, especially on the 2005-06 Barbosa and 2003-04 Factory Set Bosh.

Seeing this damage for the first time last night is going to haunt me for many years to come. There are more boxes I did not photograph, too. The 5000 count box was what I store the majority of my NASCAR trade stash (duplicates) in. I lost cards ranging from 1997-2012 in there.
These cards were all flat before. They are even more curved than the photo shows, I am holding them together here. The old brown cardboard is all Star Wars. This isn't everything that was damaged, just some.

As you read the list below, you just know some of these are going to be next to impossible to replace.
I'm still hurting from this whole thing, my cards are my life and it has made me physically ill dealing with all this loss. Ugh.

Red are inserts, blue parallels, green promos.

I would really like to hunt down replacements for these cards. I loathe to spend money on something I already have, but some of these are so far gone it's pretty much the same as not having them in the first place.

I pride myself on the fact that every card (but one) that has ever entered my collection is still a part of my collection, so replacing these is now my #1 priority.

Thanks for reading.

      Thanks. It's going to be a challenge to replace them all, but I suppose if I did it once, I can do it again (I hope!)

    Billy - shoot me an email. Let's talk about some of the 1977 SW cards you lost. Can't say I can replace them all, but I got a few you are welcome to take. 2x3heroes is the user and gmail is the email domain. You can figure out the full address.
