Are my PF jars ruined?

Last night I PC'd my jars at 15psi for 90 minutes. This morning when i removed them from them pressure cooker, they felt heavier and looked a bit more moist so I removed the foil from one and noticed moisture on my masking tape.
I think the dry verm gained moisture as well. Are my jars ruined? Is this normal? What did I do wrong? I've attached some photos below.

Get the foil off and don't use masking tape, use micropore tape if you really must, it is not needed, though. The dry verm layer is your filter.
Edit: I've just seen there's 3 pictures. You should probably redo the jars.

I won't be able to until Saturday due to my work/school schedule. Is it possible I can still inoculate them? Also, how do I prevent it from getting wet next time? The PF Tek guide I followed said to use masking tape.

If you use those jars they will probably contam because your barrier, tbe dry verm, is now wet.
When you redo them, make sure that they are bearly sitting in the water, if in the water at all. GL

Those don't look very promising. Imo, inoculating those would be a waste of time, man, but it's your call.
Just wait until saturday when you have the time, maybe, and do some new jars?
