My comic got wrecked at a meetup in Cleveland last month

I was at a local comic fan meetup in Cleveland, showing off my favorite issue of The Amazing Spider-Man #300. Someone bumped my elbow and I dropped it right into a puddle of spilled soda. The cover got soaked and stuck to the backing board. I carefully peeled it apart and laid it flat to dry, but the colors still ran a bit. Has anyone else had a comic damaged at an event and managed to fix it?

Oof, that's a real gut punch. I mean, I once sneezed directly onto a mint-condition page during a con, so maybe it's just me but we're our own worst enemies sometimes. At least the soda wasn't yours, that's my only silver lining.

Ugh, try blotting it with a paper towel then pressing it under a heavy book for a day... works sometimes.
