T206 doc crandall with a uzit back

[Batjac1]

Thanks Craig,

I've been told it would probably clean up well with a soak, but I am definitely not qualified to perform that operation. I will leave that to you experts once it sells. I would only screw it up for its future owner.

Personally I would leave it just as you found it...Craig

I am going with that plan, whatever it brings.

I'd have that taking a bath in 2 seconds.

I agree! But I understand him not doing it also. Never done it before and not really wanting to start with a card like that. My first one was a $20 card at best. I don't think I would have started with a expensive card as my first but I would throw a Wagner in now if I thought it would improve it.

I've done it maybe 300 times. Most times it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Depends totally on the type of glue. Main thing is it doesn't hurt anything. It won't fall apart or anything. A little blotting and pressing and it will be a little cleaner even if the paper doesn't come off.

The appeal is the back. Doc Crandall is not the value. Get the paper off and have a nice, clean, rare UZIT back!

Thanks guys. I do get it.

I just don't have your confidence or experience.

I don't want to be the subject of a Net54 thread titled

"Inexperienced Guy Screws Up Only Known Crandall Uzit"

At some point in our lives we've all made something worse by trying to make it better...
