Walter Johnson L1 Leather

[Baseball Rarities]

Beautiful L1 of Walter. I would also opt to leave it alone. I think that it has a tremendous look to it as is. Congratulations.

Such a great piece! Congratulation! It looks like I'm in the minority on this one, but I would be looking to clean it if it were in my collection. As long as it could be done without damaging anything or fading the image. But I also understand why others say not to touch it. As far as how to go about doing it though, I don't have any experience cleaning something like this, but I would look into options. Perhaps a museum curator might be a good place to start.

Thanks, Glyn, I'm only about 60% there right now. I do see the charm in it as it is now, but keep getting drawn to the clean version and think about mine with that kind of patina and brightness.

Just get it cleaned!

You know you want to. And you got it for a great price, so put that money you saved for the cleaning.

It will look amazing and you won't be wondering "should I clean it or shouldn't I? for the next 10 years.

GO FOR IT!!!!!
