Way to go Pete!

Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words. Today was a mighty fine day here in St. Paul... Sunny and in the 80s... perfect droptop weather!! And this strike of luck... This stuff never happens to me!!!

I soaked the card in somewhat hot water in a rectangular glass Tupperware. The small piece of paper came off in seconds. When the water cooled I refilled with hot water and after about an hour it looked to me like the bigger piece of paper was starting to release. I filled a little syringe with water and gently blew the water over the paper and it just flew off.

I removed the card and Pressed in between some coffee filters to remove water. I then placed in between some more coffee filters in a screw down for one hour. After one hour I changed the coffee filters and re-placed in screw down.

After 24 hours I will take it out and see if it is dry . If not I will place in new coffee filters and return to screw down Until dry.

Pete---i hope you can sleep well tonight swindling an old lady on social security out of a beautiful wajo. Better a good looking dentist than your typical sweaty smelly card dealer i guess...

Once complete, let us know if the process helped lighten the paper discoloration too. I'm interested in experimenting with some of my really bad caramel stained examples

He did say if was a "guy" so I could only be a "little old man" and I'm sure he got a decent price for it it's crazy how much stain caramel color came out as well. Fwiw i destroyed a Ted Williams Wheaties card like this - that's what you get for soaking a card cut from a 70 year old cereal box.

I am sure he made many more multiples off his purchase price then I will if and when I ever sell it!!
