show me a card with a rebuilt corner
Posted By: cmoking
Over the last month, I've been reading about the possibility of many cards with rebuilt corners in graded holders. I have never seen one in person...or if I have, I guess I didn't realize what I saw. |

Circa 1980s, there was a guy who rebuilt the corners on Goudeys. If you held the cards up to the light, the corners let through a different amount of light. The restoration involved glue and chemicals, so a black light would likely help. |

The guy that I knew about that was rebuilding corners on Goudeys in the 80s did work that was undetectable. I have no clue if he is still around or if any of these cards are in slabs, but I know I couldn't tell the work was done when I saw the cards. He used to buy up beat commons and use the paper from those cards to rebuild the corners. Beyond that, I don't know what processes he used. |

Not only did he rebuild them to be undectable, however he marked most or all of them. He also did a study on the different types of cardboard laminates used and on which sheets and which were the most difficult to rebuild. Quite a bit of detailed research is available in the Old Judge newletters of the 1980's |

Scott is correct. Tom was an ethical restorer and always added a dot to the back of a card he worked on to show that it had been restored. There are many others who are less ethical. |

I've been intending to post somewhere the location of the Tom Faith article on 1933 Goudey layers and laminates. It is in TOJ #15. Mr. Faith's article on card restoration is in TOJ #26. |

I don't know him personally, but heard this guy quit restoring cards a good number of years ago due to the toxicity of the chemicals used. He became allergic to them or so something like that. |

They were really not that good. The added stock did not match the original card that well. |
