Ok, here is the big reveal… I have to say, I like it! Of course, the card back scuffing is still present but I think it presents much nicer without that ground in dirt on it.
(First 2 pictures are the “before” obviously)
I will be keeping and enjoying the Eddie now that’s been de-soiled. I will probably send him in for an SGC tux to match my other 2 1915 CJs. Ironically, I am prepared to get a lower grade but that’s ok as I like the look much better this way.
Thx again all for the advice along the way - and my bonus of handling a raw CJ for the first time out of a slab was kind of cool and educational too.
