Mold???

There's a much less obvious mold, which can only be seen if you let the light glance off a smooth card..T206s and (especially) T202s are susceptable...it's just little transaparent DOTS of stuff...comes from the card being exposed to dampness, either in your possession or someone else's. T202s are so susceptable, that either Mark M or I coined a word for it "Card ich" pronounced "ick"(after the fungus that grows on some tropical fish-- fresh water, at any rate). Nasty stuff. |

I've never tried this but I've taken a microbiology course and from what I understand fungi(and most other bacteria for that matter) do not like vineger because they can not live in the acidic environment. I'd recomend apple cidar vinegar. |

The active infestation might well be dead but the stains are in the fibers of the card. You should google mildew and find out what options are there for stain removal. Probably you are stuck, tho |

I paid big bucks to have mold removed from a card by a professional paper conservation company. It was the same company that did Andy Baran's Burkett. If you're interested, email me and I'll try to find their contact information. They did a nice job. The mold was pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as yours. |

I would love any information about getting this stuff removed. These cards aren't worth an arm or a leg or anything though... |

Did someone use the cards to culture penicillin or something? Yikes. PSA will need a new qualifier. ST doesn't really fit, so I guess "M" for mold it is. Seriously, I would be very surprised if you could get that off without affecting the underlying paper, but good luck. |

20 dollars a card .... i don't know that the 'value' has been increased by that much.... but i wanted to use these cards since they were relatively inexpensive. |
