Fun With Soaking...

[jingram058]

I picked up a few 52 Topps a few months ago, including a Willie Mays with a hideous crease. After a soak, the crease is practically gone. It is a card I will always keep, and it would have been heartbreaking to ruin it, but wow, I sure didn't expect such a dramatic improvement.

Do you have before and after photos?

I'd like to see as well...



Tere1071....Sorry, I have no idea if a 53 Bowman would work...haven't tried too many. I only showed the success pictures, most improved the card but didn't have the same results (most creases still leave a flush line, might be my lack of skills too). I don't have the nerve to put anything in water I can't throw away to be honest, just having some fun.

Other than the wrinkle it's a nice card and I wouldn't want to damage it. I am attempting to upgrade, but most of the Spahns lack the centering this has.

So, I have a nice Spahn (BVG 3) that has a surface crease/wrinkle that's about 2 inches long. How do 53 Bowman's hold up under soaking?
