Any Eraser for 1960's pen writing on cards?
 
I buy a lot of "lots" of cards from the 70's and 60's.
When I do, I take the cards with pen writing, and I sell them on Facebook or Crigslist.
However, if I could get the pen writing off the card, I would keep in my collection, and not re-sell them.
Is their an eraser that gets black or/and blue ink from the 60's and 70's, off cards without taking the paper off too?

Try an artist eraser usually white

Being far from an expert on this, IMO ink goes on liquid so it soaks into the paper, where pencil carbon tends to "sit" on top of the paper. I think if you attempt to erase the ink, the result will be paper removal and a blemish mark more unsightly than the ink mark. Just my opinion, but I have several cards with ink marks or writing and I think it adds to the character of the card.

Buy these and thank me later :) I use them and have one on my desk at all times.....they work great and if they won't get it off it ain't coming off with an eraser....Good luck

OK Leon, I took your advice.
Bought them.

I am hoping to get at least $10 for the lot I have on them now, so that will pay for the erasers and hopefully next time, I can get the ink off them and keep them.

Thx a million

You should contact the company for your cut
Looks like several people have ordered these including myself.
Thanks for the info

At less than 5 bucks shipped I am not sure there is a cut left?
Hopefully folks getting them will like them. I like mine and have had it/them for many years. They get off a lot of writing but everyone should know that if indentions are left most grading companies, in my experience, count them the same as a colored in mark. (MK or downgrade). And lastly, some of the very old, oil based? pencil will not come off. I have tried.
