One of my luckiest vintage bb finds...at the star of the north antique show in st paul, mn. A guy with a display case had a bunch of items from an old scrapbook...he recalled there was another CJ card of a big name hofer that was sold...in the fist 2 pics u see it as i saw it in the display case. 3rd pic wlters swimming with the fishes...and the final result. I knew it was real but it appeared to have back damage. After I got it home I realized it was positive paper on the back...and I got to business. It came off quite easily with no physical prodding and the card front does appear cleaner for sure. It's amazing to see all the dirt in the water after the fact. I have since purchased a large, heavy book press specifically for the occasional card soak.
