Posted By: <b>Christopher</b><p>I came across a 1948 Leaf Phil Rizzuto card, my question is it seems to have tape going across top and bottom about a 1/4 inch! (probably some kid had it taped to wall back in the day) do you think that there is a way to remove it without damaging card! The corners look nice and it has no creases, a tad off centered! I am scared if i try and remove it will take the card front with it! Any recommendations? Or should i just leave it as is? I was told this might be a good place to find some help!<br /><br />Thanks in advance!

Lightly dab baby powder to the remnants to keep card from sticking to the holder. <br /><br /><br /><br />Avail. from AC Moore or most other craft stores<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1203807179.JPG">
