I put the card in a toploader and back in a bubble mailer I had laying around, thinking I would send it to SGC or something. At the time I was sending out tons of cards every week and I accidentally grabbed that bubble mailer, put another card in it, and sent it off. So someone got a free, possible 9.5 BGS gem mint Montana rookie. Of course, whoever got it never messaged me...
If you're familiar at all with Dave Ramsey, you could call this whole incident "stupid tax."

That whole story is freakin horrible!
I'll add: I've accidentally thrown away cards in bubble mailers that I just slit open to verify the contents of, not knowing I forgot to remove the cards. Did that to a Sidney Crosby Young Guns and an Ovechkin Beehive Auto - in the same day. This was back in the 20+ item maildays I used to have.
