No pictures, please!
Just curious, how many times have you gotten a paper cut from a trading card? I think, for me, it's three in 30 years, so I guess I can't complain too badly. I remember the first. It was summer or fall 1996, and I had just gotten into the NBA in February that year. When sorting a pile of cards, my copy of 1989-90 Hoops John MacLeod cut my left ring finger.
When I saw he passed away this week that was the first thing thing I thought of. As it's also the first thing I think about whenever I see a copy of that card.
Weird how certain memories stay with you.
Wonder if I'm the only one who's gotten attacked by a card?

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

None for me, and I even collect wrestling cards.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Not from cards, but when I worked for Star, we dealt with plenty of boxes and occasionally, when opening the large corregated cardboard boxes, I'd get a cut from the corregated.
Also, there were the full-sized printing plates that were, unfortunately for me, knee-high. I suffered many cut kneecaps from those.
I can't say I ever got any from the cards themselves.

I have gotten cardboard "paper" cuts from trading cards a few times. I don't recall any specifics like Billy. It just happens sometmies, just like at work getting a paper cut from a dang document off the printer or from the ream of paper when loading a copier's paper tray. The worst though is getting a cardboard cut from opening a cardboard shipping box from a mail-day of trading cards, usually results in two slits/cuts. Hate when it happens on one of the joint lines.

"Cardboard cuts" doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it? Although it might make for a good insert series.

Back when I used to use toploaders, those would give me cuts sometimes. Right at the bottom of my thumb nail. It would usuallly happen from pulling toploaded cards out of the box.
