<p>[QUOTE="spartcom5, post: 2151869, member: 5213"]Well, disaster struck in the most unlikely of ways. I received the image and it smelled like cigar/cigarette smoke horribly. Like freshly smoked cigars. Anyhow, I took the image out and looked at the inscription on the inside. It was written in pencil and badly faded. I could not make out any names for the life of me. With this said I had to leave the case outside for a little to air it out. It was a nice day sunny and all. However, I took a nap and apparently it rained badly. The case was drenched in water but the inscription on the inside remained alright. It was not supposed to rain and it still smells like smoke. Luckily the image was safely taken out beforehand and NOT left outside. I am drying the case off and it looked fine except for the water stained paper.....</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel horrible about this incident and can't believe it happened...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
