When I bought this card it had an old stamp hinge on the reverse. Got it off relatively easily and was very happy with the grade.

I agree... Very nice, Chris. Did that just float off?

Amazing how good these came out. Erick did the glue have any effect on the
front of the Hindu?

I've wanted to soak Joe since I got him for that green collar he's wearing. Never had the "fortitude" to follow through. Anyone tried a similar stain?

Any tips on how to do this for someone who has never tried? Soak it in water only? How long? Do you do anything to the card after you take it out or just lay it flat?

I'd love to hear more too, and will it work with 05's? I worry about the effect on the gold borders.

I've only soaked two cards, lots of good info if you search the forum. Tap or filtered room temperature water, left it for an hour and gently peeled the paper off. Sandwiched the card between paper towels and some heavy books overnight.

Filmed the removal.

I like the yellow-brown glue.

I'm not sure if this wrinkling was caused by the glue... But there's no apparent color change.

Erick, nice pickup on that Hindu!

I've never soaked a card. Do you guys think I could soak the grime off of my McGraw?

You might be able to get a bit of that grime off... it obviously wouldn't help the technical grade, but it will look a little nicer. That said, you may want to try with a lesser card first if you've never soaked before.
