And a final postscript to the story. The card continues to dry between paper towels (replaced a couple of times a day), and there is none/zero/zip/nada ink appearing on them. Perhaps I was a little overzealous with the Q-Tip in the red ink area, and it caused a tiny bit to bleed into the cotton. It probably looked a helluva lot worse due to it becoming diluted in the water. But no black or red ink came off onto the paper towels. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

I have a 52 Bowman Willie Mays that was laminated when I purchased it. The whole process might be worth its own thread, but for now, the results might be helpful. I successfully removed the plastic with an iron, but there was still a gooey residue left on the card. I didn't have much luck with rubbing alcohol and q-tips, but I have had some success with electrical contact cleaner and q-tips. The contact cleaner evaporates very quickly, which I think is beneficial. It might be worth a shot.

Cheers,
Mark
