Removing Pencil
Posted By: James Gallo
What are people's thoughts on removing pencil from the back of the card. This would be on an area without color or text. What is the best and safest way to do this. I am not talking about a chemical but just an eraser....? |

I know there are some who disagree, but personally, I dont have any problem with removing pencil marks from a card. |

I agree... removing pencil marks with only an eraser isn't a sin in my book. |

SGC and PSA can usually still find where the pencil mark was and will still grade accordingly, but I think the card looks better without the pencil mark even with the same technical grade or MK qualifier. |

My first thought was "from which orifice", which shows how slow my life is... |

I have no problem with removing pencil marks. It just makes the card all the more asthetically pleasing. Whether PSA or SGC picks up on it is irrelevant to me. It is what it is and will be graded accordingly. |

Look for a Mars Plastic Eraser. I got a pack of 4 large ones for about $4 a long time ago.....it's a lifetime supply. The eraser, as well as other artgum ones, will crumble easily thereby making it safer to erase. I have no problem with erasing pencil marks on cards. I have even disclosed it when selling to a board member even though there was no trace and SGC didn't see it either when they encased the card. The only issue is if whoever wrote on your card did it with a heavy hand...then indentions will be left....Maybe that's what Kevin is talking about when he says to soak it? regards |

I have to agree with you (somewhat) on erasing. Sometimes I will leave the markings as they are neat and give more identification to the cards history. This Weaver came from the Trucker Boy find and these marks will stay on it....This "Carl" person was very prolific in his writing of his name on PCL cards.......Kind of funny how this was stashed away since it was collected but had his name on it? |

Before all this mania with grading occurred, it was not uncommon for someone to lightly mark a price in pencil on the back of a card. I've seen many and owned a few examples like this. Art erasers generally work well, especially with light pencil marks and I have no issue personally with doing so. |

I also have a couple dozen of these cards marked C.E., Carl, Carl E. and Carl Everett. I would not mind a few dozen more. Would not think of erasing them. |
