Prognosis for "Shiny Corners"
Hello fellow collectors! Long time reader, first time poster here!!
I recently purchased a collection where many of the star cards had been housed for years in acrylic holders of various description. (Yes, I knew what I was getting into by purchasing these!)
Most of the more valuable cards show no signs of being encased as they were, but there are still some which have the trademark "shiny corners" when held in just the right light. As an example, one is a Carew RC which I would estimate at EX-MT or NM, but I'm not going to have it graded (yet) due to a couple bright corners. Might come back as altered...
On to my question...does anyone have positive experience with these cards losing the shiny corners, improving, etc. over time once they've been removed from the acrylic? If so, can you please describe what you did? I'm certainly not interested in doctoring the cards, so let me know if you're aware of an acceptable solution here for me and/or the person who owns these next!
Thank you
