I didn't think the before and after pics, would cause quite a stir. I know that the cleaning of the glue that Dick did, didn't really raise the grade as someone stated. The card went from a 1 to a 2 because of paper loss, bends, corners etc... I have no intention on submitting the card to PSA/SGC. I am a Hal Chase collector and the card will stay raw in my collection. I still have the original SGC label in a top loader with the card. If I ever do decide to sell the card I will disclose that the card was a 1 and was cleaned. I didn't send the card to Dick to deceive anyone now or in the future. I have several T-206 high grade cards and as someone pointed out alot of high grade pre-war stuff at one point or another may have been soaked/chemical cleaned at some point in time. Due to being glued in a scrap book. Which is how so many of the cards maintained those razor sharp corners for 100+ years. I don't see any problem with what Dick did, the card doesn't glow in the dark, has no chemical smell and isn't going to spontaneous combust while in my shoe box with my other cards... Thanks again to Dick....
