Another hit to my 1952 Bowman Small set described as a Poor condition filler (my kind of card)! I picked it up on eBay along with the Tarkenton RC, but Y.A. went for a little "bath" LOL! Tossed Y.A. in the kitchen sink, wiped him off with a dish rag, then dried him out between paper towels (your typical soak). Before pic on the left, after pic on the right with no improvement on the reverse. I paid 5.8% NM value for this card. I didn't notice the card was trimmed or just suffered from some weird factory cut until after Y.A. got cleaned up. Also the crease in the upper left is not noticed until after all the dirt was washed off. I thought the stain on the pennant was gum or wax but it wouldn't rub off and ended up being more dirt.
