Wax Stain Removal

[Archive]

Posted By: Nick G

I know the topic of Wax stain removal is somewhat controversial.

I recently bought a nice collection of 51 and 52 Bowmans but most had wax stains on the back. I know in the past i have heard that lighter fluid would take it off (though im sure with an awful smell attached). I also remember Al Rosen selling some sort of "tonic" to do this as well but that was years ago.

Im not even 100% sure i want to remove the stains, im just curious as to my options. So i was curious...

1- Is there a safe, effective way to remove them?
2- Will it pass PSA or SGC?
3- How "frowned upon" is it now a days to remove a wax stain?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
