Scrapbook Card Removal? **PIC OF SOME CARDS IN BOOK UPDATE**
 

Had a guy I dealt with years ago that could remove cards from a scrapbook, but unfortunately he passed away. I recently got a few pages with some nice cards I'd like to get loose without damaging them,so I'm looking for options or advice. These are from a mid 50's scrapbookif thst makes a difference in what to use. Thanks! Brandonu

Hey Brandon -- I haven't been on here long, but I think if you enter "soak cards scrapbook distilled water" into the search function, you'll see quite a few posts/threads on the topic, including tips.

Hey! Thanks for the tip, but for some reason the page won't let me enter a search term, it just goes back to to blank search box. I'll try to figure gout what I'm doing wrong lol

Search for a local paper restorer, and they should be able to professionally do the removal for a reasonable price and time duration.

This was posted way back when by member Jobu, and it really helps track stuff down (although Net54 is a notoriously tough site to zero in on exactly what you're trying to find, but this way certainly helps)...

A far better way to search the forum for old posts is to go to the url/address box and type "search site:www.net54baseball.com" (without the quotes) followed by a space and then whatever it is that you want to search for. This will let you use Boolean operators built into Google that Net54 doesn't allow (AND and OR) and quotation marks to search for an exact phrase. It is much better than using the forum's search option.

Amen! That works great.

Plus one , with a bullet .
 

AND I just realized that I have not read nor seen the word " Boolean " since 2010 ; it was

in a YAHOO! chatroom.

The appropriate exclamation for the above situation is "Boo-Yah!"

okay
 

Man , you old.

Old is as old does, so that means my shoe has an old sole.


Brian (which probably also indicates I wear my shoes until they fall apart, and then I grill up a filet of sole. But that has the unpleasant effect of making my house smell like burnt rubber. What were we talking about?)

Thanks fellas,I think I found what I need using that search method!

Got the scrapbook in hand finally and wanted to post a Pic of the highlight of the book. Looks to be all 1953-55 era Red Sox memorabilia and cards from Bowman. Topps and maybe a few others. My eye is on the 54 and 55 Topps Williams cards that look to be in great condition should they survive the conservation.

.If one of those Splendid Splinters is a "Wilson Franks " , then you are going to have a very happy Thanksgiving.

Congrats.

Hope that it's paste and not elmer's or contact cement...Try a common first..

Could even be taped in, also not good.

Now that is pretty cool, someone adhered two of Ted's cards with both sides being displayed.

Wouldn't it be funny if someone did that with a couple of T206 Wags cards and one of the backs was a Tolstoi or something like that... could you imagine the number of people that would be posting about "impossible" :p

In any case, pretty cool scrapbook page. I sure hope it's paste.

Thanks fellas! Looking forward to working on getting them loose when I gdtbthe right supplies. Will update in a separate. Ppst if I'm successful!
