T206 Cleaning Question

I recently purchased about 50 raw T 206's which would grade very good to excellent if not for a dirty yellow looking substance on the front of the card like a film maybe cigarette smoke. Has anyone here had any luck removing this sort of stuff without damaging the card or its value. Thanks Daryl

But that's just me.

...some luck with water soaking followed by a light application of a QTip to the affected area -- but this was with dust/dirt, not yellowing.

Whatever you do, don't use any chemicals as they (a) may ruin your card; and (b) are easily rejected by grading companies as altered.
