Glue

[kevlewis]

Yeah dont worry about the glue. Like Al said there is always multiple residues you will find on photos. This hobby isnt like any others in the sense that a smudge, residue, crease or crack will totally de-value the item. All of these things prove the authenticity of the photo. These photos were handled and used by editors not thinking about how they would be worth something one day. The only residue I will remove at time (depending on the photo) is a editorial pencil or paint that they would use on the image to shade around or border what part of the image they were going to use in their publication. They sell this spray on ebay called Pec-12 which is a chemical that takes off marking on a photo without hurting the photo. It will pull off shading pencil, glue, paint and some pen markings. But everything is a personal preference in the eye of the beholder. I also dont like to trim my photos. I know qlot of people that do to clean up their photos but I like to show more of the authenticity to the buyer. But I do hate buying photos that are trimmed. Hahaha
