Posted By: <b>James Gallo</b><p>So what do you make of the flaps on the back of this card.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=019&item=290008637921&rd =1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=019&item=290008637921&rd =1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1</a" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=019&item=290008637921&rd =1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1</a</a>><br /><br />it reminds me of the type of thing used on stamps. Any thoughts on the removal of it?<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />James Gallo<br /><br />Looking for 1915 Cracker Jacks and 1909-11 American Caramel E90-1.

Posted By: <b>Tim James</b><p>At first glance,it looks like a piece of mounting tissue.If you are lucky,it is reversable tissue that can be removed by applying heat with a non stick blotter in between the heat source and the tissue.If it a standard mounting tissue,an adhesive solvent like "Unseal" or "Bestine" will release it. If it is a rice paper hinge,it can be removed by steaming.Rice paper hinges are the best "archival" hinge that can be used.

Posted By: <b>James Gallo</b><p>So I got my two cards today. The hinge came right off the back of the first card and I barely had to pull at it. It didn't stain at all but did leave a pull type mark that looks more like a light stress.<br /><br />Of course the burns card is much tougher and although might come by just slowing pulling I think it will end up doing damage.<br /><br />I want to avoid this, but I would like to use soaking as a last resort.<br /><br />Will something like Bestine stain the card at all? Would I submerge the card or just put a bit on top.<br /><br />How would you go about steaming it?<br /><br />Any help would be great.<br /><br />It seems with these cards I now have 4 T-206 and am slowing joining the ranks of the nuts collecting that set <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />James Gallo<br><br>Looking for 1915 Cracker Jacks and 1909-11 American Caramel E90-1.
