E90-1 Jackson found

agreed with everyone that rob did the right thing...we all know some other auction houses wouldn't have. ultimately the cards will be soaked and graded...be sure to save the scans now.

This is a great story and seeing the cards in that scrapbook all together like that is a real cool piece of hobby history and reminds me of my scrap booking days as a child. I would collect cards and important sports related newspaper pictures and articles in that exact same way. Only thing is, is that my cards and newspapers articles that i collected in a similar way, were from the late 70s and early 80s, not from the early 1900's.

Why do I think the winner of the scrapbook is going to remove one of the bird card pictures to see what kind of adhesive was used on the back and if it is flour based glue, the soaking will commence. I agree with Joann and others that it would be great to preserve the book as is but if the Jackson is able to be easily removed, the value would be enormous.

Does a card which has been soaked to remove scrapbook glue/etc. get an "A" designation from SGC or PSA?

Nope! If it is not trimmed or altered (soaking it not considered an alteration), it will definitely receive a number grade.

Lovely Day...

I might be in the minority viewpoint on this, but I'd have the baseball cards removed from the album.

Many consider the cards stuck in the album in their "native state" but there was a time where those cards weren't glued in the album. To me, that is their native state. By that logic you would argue that the card belongs in a box of candy or pouch of tobacco, but I just like looking at the card...

But mainly, I like looking at the back of the card and I just think those special cards should be free of the glue and paper concealing it.

I agree. If you want the cards in their "native state", here ya go!
