There is another option here. You might consider removing the ink "digitally". By "digitally", I mean that you scan the card into the computer, then remove the ink with a computer program (Adobe Photodeluxe, etc...). You save the new image without the ink on your computer. Then, you can enjoy looking at the card without the ink anytime you want. Also in doing this, you don't risk futher damage to the actual card.
This option works well for me, because when I want to look at my cards, I simply get on the computer and look at them, because I have all of them scanned in to the computer. I don't pull my cards out that often to look at them, but I look at them on the computer VERY often.
Below is an example of a modification that I did to one of my cards. There are others on the forum that can show you similar things that they've done. I realize that it could be more difficult to digitally remove the ink from your card, depending on where the ink is on the card. (The ink might be over a very complicated background.) But, with a little work, I think it could be done.
