And to put a final bow tie on my experience here with this CJ Collins… I present my lovely new SGC 1.5 Collins

I think he looks very handsome in his new Tux and I look forward to finding just the right place in my card cave for him.

My lesson learned?

If soaking, go EASY on any gentle scrubbing (lost a few letters in this process…). But also, I very much prefer the final “after” results over the “before” dirt/scuff version.

I also am reminded that, once my cards are in my collection and on display, I spend 98% of the time enjoying the front of the card - and Eddie looks great to me
