I shipped a large amount of of my magic cards home via the airlines and when they finally cleared customs and arrived I found them covered in clay dust?? Very odd... perhaps customs had to make sure that none of them were laced with explosives O.o
Anyhow I was wondering about how I can properly clean them off as not to damage them any further. Unless perhaps they're just far too damaged to consider for trading at this point. But at least I should be able to carefully remove the clay enough for playing them
Looks like they survived, I've been able to carefully wipe them off with a cloth but I find it odd that they would brush clay onto them. Looks like they mostly brushed the outsides of the cards and separated some to coat them entirely with semi wet clay. In Google searching I've come up with that clay apparently reacts with C4 and such, some of my other possessions have clay as well.
I guess it's a lesson that if your going overseas make sure to carry your most valuable possessions on your person.
I'm still wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if your cards are still legally playable? Some of the worst of them feel as if they are possibly heavier. Others just have some blemishes or scratches from the clay dust but most of it isn't noticeable without a closer look.
