Posted By: Separating Card From Cardboard
I'm officially taking suggestions as to the best way to begin separating these cards from each other and the backing they're glued to. I have seen lighter fluid remove a wax stain and have heard that T206 cards will dry fine after being soaked in water. Any suggestions? |

The backs of the t206's are much "sturdier" than t205's - for whatever reason, it's easier to lose a few letters when rubbing residue off the back of a t205, but the fronts appear to hold up equally well. |

I bought it for the express purpose of trying my hand at pulling the cards apart as carefully as possible and then keeping the three I need for my collection while selling the remainding cards back on ebay. So, keeping it intact is not really an option for me, and I'm not really interested in selling it either -- heck, I just bought it. |

I haven't soaked any EX-MT or better cards, so tap-water is fine...but I live in Georgia - perhaps tap-water in other areas of the US is really nasty. |

the less drinkable the tap water is. In San Diego, I wpouldn't let a '88 Fleer near it. |

I had to hold my breath to drink it. On the other hand, people from that town thought everyone else's water was horrible. |

In anticipation of the big project I described above, I tried it out on 8 T206 cards in my collection with varying degrees of glue, dirt and scrapbook attached to their backs. I am happy to report that the techniques described above worked remarkably well. |

If you ever see a card that has very light 1/4" thick diagonal stripes on the back, this is because the back had been covered in glue and then the card put into a scrap-book that had empty slits on the pages - when the residue/glue was later soaked off, a "shadow" was left where glue had dried on the back with no paper attached. |

I have an N-300 Mayo HOFer in my collection with a significant amount of scrapbook residue on the back. Unfortunately, I don't have beaters on which to experiment. Anyone have experience removing residue from this issue? |

The Mayos were black and white lithos, so I would expect them to respond well to soaking. Jay Miller mentioned the other day that OJ's soaked okay, so I'm thinking that just about any pre-wwi issue is fine. It would be nice to put together a reference document for as many issues as we can - if anyone wants to send stuff to me (email above) I will start compiling the information and distribute later. |

I didn't mean to login as "Anonymous". I'm actually Dennis From VA. BTW, the water quality is pretty good here. It appears as though my, and others, advice has shown positive results. Good. Stick with the distilled water to be safe. I also want to add that I didn't render all of my secrets...Happy collecting. |

because of the thin, thin photo emulsion on the front. I've seen a corner of that emulsion folded back upon itself, |
