Curious what your worst case of tape pull ever was?

This happened to me when I was a kid so the book was not as valuable back then, I learned my lesson since then.

 

Curious what your worst case ever was of tape pull or some other stupidity that caused damage or destruction to one of your beloved books.

X-Men 60. Picked it up super cheap at an antique sale & the first time I went to pull it from the bag... tape pull. I wanted to cry.

Your worst comicbook accident / mistake?

I am sure there are even more similar threads done over the years.

Yes, this kind of threads are an "evergreen": they need to be redone here and there.

 

I don’t have many in mind, not caused by me, but I proud myself of these two, bought with the tape pull already, in my collection. Nothing drastic, I quite like them.

 

 

My #2 has a tape pull also (in the Skrull's hand, below), but I love it as it’s otherwise very nice:

I wasn't involved in the transaction, but years ago, a well-known dealer sold the Church copy of Adventure #46. He took it out of the bag to take one more good look at it before boxing it up for shipping, and snagged the bottom right corner on the tape.
