1948 Leaf Rizzuto
 
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!

Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>I understand that toluene is a solvent for typical tape adhesive.<br />But I offer no guarantees regarding the effect of toluene on the card's ink.<br />However, I have heard favorable reports.

Posted By: <b>Paul S</b><p>If that goo has stained the card then the stain will most likely always be there. Nothing necessarily wrong with that.

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">
