Can this stain be removed?

Crack and Soak

Only one way to find out!

I would think a soaking would improve the appearance...whether the whole stain will disappear...who knows?

Silly question but, has anybody ever added a chemical (say like OxyClean) when soaking a card?

Hi No Name,

Please tell us why you would do this?

It's a PSA2.

Most soak to gain something and its usually a grade jump that guys are looking for.

Personally I would leave it just as you found it and if you want to experiment with soaking cards, do it on a raw card with stains.

Nice card. This fellow could be of some help.

Craig,

That is a PSA 2 with no ST qualifier on it.. so if the stain is removed it could be bumped to a PSA 4.

I disagree. There is paper loss on the back. If it were mine, I might also try soaking it to remove the stan and enhance the appearance, but the paper loss should still keep it from grading any higher than a 2.
