Mr.Overall Is Going Into Sergury Tonight!

[Craig M]

No paperwork is needed here in Tijuana; my previous work speaks for itself!

Tijuana tonight and

Guadalajara in the morning.

Overall needs an attorney.

[Craig M]

Nate,

Sovereign 150 or 350 Dark Green?

(I hope I didn't give it away)

Mr. Overall has a breath of new life.

[Craig M]

I only bathed him for 15 minutes in luke warm water. It still shows glue; should I have let him soak for several hours?

[Craig M]

A before and after front comparison. The front cleaned up rather nicely even though I noticed some paper degradation on bottom lower right.

[Craig M]

WOW! I just noticed something for the first time; what are those two dots on his uniform after CUBS:

Those dots are very interesting indeed. I don't recall ever noticing that before.

You're the surgeon. What do i know?

Looks like it resulted in ink or paper loss on the front. Am I wrong?

Hey Craig, nice job removing the paper off of the back !!

Question- was there any type of transfer visible from the back of that card on the paper you soaked off? Fron the last picture, it doesn't look like there is, but you can only see the bottom.

Thanks-

Sincerely, Clayton

Looks like some additional paper loss on the front to me.

I'd soak it for a day or two, changing the water a few times. I've had better results with hot (not boiling) water when it comes to glue.

Not sure about the two dots. Perhaps from markers or a pen? Looking forward to seeing a larger scan. I think you might have a right side printer's mark on the front as well, but it could be part of a stain.

Overall, nice job on removing the wallpaper; looks better already.

Nice work if you can get it

[Craig M]

I have an inexpensive scanner and it doesn't allow me to go any further than I already have (600 dpi).

I have tried to get my local FedEx Kinkos to take a scan of it and they said that because of copyright laws, they can't do it.

I respect their decision and for the time being I guess the : (colon) will have to wait until I get a new scanner that will go to 1200dpi.

600 may work, but NET54 downsizes the scans. So you may need to crop out that area and size it up from there.

[Craig M]

Take a look at the first Overall scan of the front and there is a small black dot in the right side border. It's color matches the : (colon) but cleaned up and is completely gone after the soaking. Why did that black dot clean up and not the other two?

I sent Andy the original scans in an email and hopefully he will report his findings here.

Craig

[Craig M]

Well, Overall is still a WIP.

Now the top dot of the colon after CUBS looks lighter than the bottom dot.

Lets see if this scan is better. I don't know if this is going to work or not.

EDITED: Nope not big enough, I need it about 10x this. The left bottom side of the S has the same 3 little ink extensions as the left side of the top dot. Interesting to say the least!
