Julie VognarNot sure it will be necessary after all this!
Ted: another thing about mold (or mould...which is it?), is that it can spread to other cards, and besides...it smells moldy! I've never found anything I was willing to use on my (very thin!) T202s that have "cark ick."
One other card I have (personally, no less!) altered: a '35 Ruth, McManus, etc--the rare one. The corners are very rounded, and the sides are quite worn, but I erased a "1934" (wrong date) from the back--however, it was done with such a hard-pressed pencil that the mark still shows.
I think that about covers my card sins...I'll see how I feel about the Howe when it comes back. OH YES: I took a Scrapps Comiskey, with a perfect front, and almost half an inch of various kinds of stuck paper on the back, wet the back with a Q-tip swab, and started scratching with a toothpick, gently. When I got down to card,--stuff stopped coming off. For about half a year, the back was discolored--just as if wood glue had been there. Then it faded...
That's GOTTA be all...
