Thinking of Soaking off Scrap paper from '55 Clementes

[LACardsGuy]

After days and days of hemming and hawing, i pulled the trigger. Scrapbook paper came right off. There does seem to be some shininess where the glue was, but i can live with it. No damage and fronts (if anything) look a bit cleaner than before. Suppose I could do it again to try to get the glue (?) off, but I don't want to tempt fate.

Looks great! Nice work. I would be happy with that. It now looks like a nice card that was carefully removed from a scrapbook. Nothing wrong with that.

Congratulations!

You have two nice looking Clemente cards. And you learned quite a bit. If you gather other cards with scrapbook remnants, paste, or glue, one day... you may recognize that what you've learned is more valuable than the 2 Clemente cards.
