It was being stored in a shed that squirrels chewed into creating a hole that when the snow melted this flooded.  This was in the box on the floor.

I would have been lucky if it was only dropped in the toilet.  It was waterlogged completely through.  The pictures show it in much better condition that it was.

Nothing a little judicious baking soda can't clean up in a jiffy.  NM in shrink, 50% value bonus.

Laughed out loud seeing that AC5. (Laughter is a defense mechanism sometimes). Man that's too bad about it. Needed Kevlar shrink to stop that squirrel.

I did manage to save it (but had to break open the shrink) and it ended up in much better condition than I thought it would end up.

Yeah squirrels are difficult. One got into my attic then fell down into a wall and died. Was told could spend thousands of dollars cutting up walls looking for it or turn up the heat and dry the body out faster. Had an indoor fly problem for a little while after that.

Squirrels were in the fiend folio or MM2 I believe. True wandering monsters.
