Sleeved my whole deck upside down at a gaming cafe in Austin

I was at Emerald Tavern in Austin last month, sleeves flying everywhere, and I realized after 45 minutes that I'd put every card in my Dominion set facing the wrong way. The plastic flaps were on the bottom instead of the top, so shuffling felt terrible. My buddy laughed and showed me how to flip them all in one quick motion by sliding a stack against the table edge. Anyone else have a sleeving disaster that made you feel silly?

Done that with my Arkham Horror LCG set. Spent an hour flipping them all back and my fingers were raw.

My local game store had a bulk bin of unsleeved Magic cards for 10 cents each once. I spent a whole afternoon flipping through them looking for hidden gems. Came home with a stack of 200 cards and realized half were beat up lands and duplicates of the same bad common. My fingers were black from the cardboard dust and I had paper cuts between my thumb and index finger for days. Worth it for the three random foil commons I found though, even if they were only worth a buck each.
