Hi all,
Recently I bought a large low-grade lot of 1948-1952 Bowman baseball (most of which will make their way here most likely). There were 5 cards that had photos pasted onto the front of them of different players. I noticed the back of one was a 1952 Bowman Y.A. Tittle and - miracle of miracles - this was the one pasted on the poorest of them all. A small yank on the corner with almost no force allowed the photo to peel off almost a quarter of the way. There is a spot on the front where it appears some ink does appear to have come off of the back of the pasted photo and been left on the card front. The rest of it appears to be pasted extremely strongly, and any kind of force would likely tear the front of the card.
Any suggestions how to get the rest of the photo off with the most minimal damage to the card? I didn't expect this (or any) football to be in the lot, and I expected everything to be low-grade, so I'm expecting SOME issues, but want to minimalize them!
