Another fantastic restoration 👍🏽💯
I have a 51 bowman Mickey Mantle, plan to attempt the restoration also a 2.5 graded card. Omg so nervous…..
Work on some other 51 Cards first. Just get comfortable with it so it’s a repeatable process, not something that makes you anxious. Soaking the card is easy, bringing it back and drying it properly is what you need to practice. 🤘🏼
Excellent work.
Oh wow! Continue to amaze brother. I have this card and planning to grade soon. Sending a Ted Wiliams as well. Cant do this myself LOL. Amazing job. Keep it up
Do you take in cards from customers as well to be worked on?
Have you ever ran into a situation with a sticker auto had a slight wrinkle in it ? Do you think the edge tool might help
@@lampron58 I would have to see it, but I don’t think there’s much you can do. If it’s misplaced and not stuck on properly, it’s hard to do much with. If you’re on Instagram, send me a picture. I’d love to take a look.
The reason why I bought more card spray last week. Can't wait to practice on my 55/56 cards🤘
Solid video!
How do i wash the mats? Washing machine. Soap and then tumble dry?
@@OANDPJAFO if you’re just using them for card drying, warm water will do the trick. But if they have dried card polish on them, throw them away. I buy the material by the roll. You can get it on Amazon.

What are the clear plates called (curling plates?) and where would you purchase them from? Don’t see them as an item in the Kurt’s shop. Thanks!
@@dannyfaught5945 I get all that good stuff on Amazon. Let me show you.

@@kurtscardcare Appreciate the guidance, thank you!!
Did you do anything to the corners during this process? they turned out amazing!! Did you add polish after or not?
Since I had to get the card wet, that process helped me take care of the corners. I did polish the front of the card after it was totally dry.
@kurtscardcare OK good to know. I really like all your card care videos, just trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible. I really like the long videos where you cover multiple kinds of cards from vintage to modern loving those videos as I gain lots of knowledge at once!! Thanks Kurt!!
@@TonyLightTravels absolutely, my pleasure
How do you decide to soak vs not soak? Have you still had no luck soaking 80s & 90s cards?
@@joeymak2000 I will soak a card if it’s heavily wrinkled and dirty. That works the best. I still use moisture on every style of Card. You can soak or semi soak 80s/90 it’s just conditional. Check out my website. I just revamped it. This specific section will talk about 80s and 90s paper cards.

The back looks whiter for sure
Is the foam what we use for water removal in the kit or do I buy it separately. The card looks incredible.
Yes Paul, that’s exactly what I use. I’ll drop you a link if you want to get a roll.

Noticed that at some point you went from double mats to single mats on both sides. At what point in the process do you do that? I don’t se to be able to get mine to dry in 2 days so I’m wondering if this is part of the issue on my end.
Once the card is fairly dry and more stable, you can switch to one card mat but that won’t make a huge difference in my opinion. Keep the cart out for 10 to 15 minutes at a time between putting it back between the mats. You can use the regular atmosphere to help dry it. I also have an air-conditioned office that is typically around 70°. The air is fairly dry and I think that probably helps too. Good question.
How do you determine how long you do a full soak of a card like this? Great video!!
That’s a great question. I find that most of the magic happens in the first 20 minutes. I have entertained myself for years doing stuff like this, and I’ve always taken good notes. If a card is filthy, you might have to dump the fluid at 20 minutes and add another ounce and let it sit for another 20 minutes. But that’s rare.
okay thanks for the advice!@@kurtscardcare
What is the card spray? Same with the polish... Im allergic to most furniture polish.
@@anthonyp2297 do you know what you’re allergic to specifically? I keep safety information on the bottom of of my website if you need to take a look at it.
Can a significant crease on a 56 Robinson be removed using your technique?
Sometimes, you can always reduce it, but most times it doesn’t go away 100%. The smaller the wrinkle, the easier it is to remove it.
How kurt so I purchased your card spray! How would I get out a small crack line one inch to a 1973 card. Dab it with card spray? Its not a crease because it doesnt appear on front. Thanks Paul!
Hey Paul, thanks for the message. I’m not 100% sure but I don’t mind taking a look for you. If you’re on Instagram, you wanna send me a picture or email me a picture?
What if the card has an auto on it? Would the spray mess it up?
Thanks Kurt
It probably would, don’t soak a vintage card with an auto. That’s a great question.
Great work as usual Kurt
Idk...i'd guess SGC 3. Back centering...try PSA if it comes back SGC 3.
What was the re-grade?
@@dusksfinds this one only went up a little little bit. Up to a 3
@@kurtscardcare for that card, that is nice, what 350 to 500 in value!
Question have you figured out how to get ink off a card?
I won an estate sale and the 67 mantle, Drysdale, and Marris someone wrote on the front of the card in pin.
Going to practice, on the, what I am sure of, is other cards in the partial 67 set written on 1st.
@@dusksfinds you’re right, it’s a good increase in eye appeal and value so I’m happy with that. I just thought it looked better. But unfortunately, I don’t have any good ways to remove ink. I can do pencil and non-permanent marker but ink has always been too challenging.
@@kurtscardcare I saw someone use WD40 and it removed the ink from the card, left the imprint, but it looked like the card was not damaged. I'll let you know if I can come up with something.
What was the final grade when you got this back?
It’s a 3 now
Hey Kurt. I just ruined a beautiful 1972 Topps Willie Mays. Great centering and corners but it had a little nick at the top. I used the eye dropper technique with your card spray but squirted too much out and it soaked the top corner. I tried patting it down but when it dried the card was stained and bumpy. Any suggestions? Also, what is the cutoff decade for being able to submerge vintage cards in cleaning spray without damaging the card?
Hey Dexter, there might be a chance to save the card still. If you’re on Instagram, please send me a picture. Pretty much 80s and up is when you don’t wanna soak a card completely but you can still use spot treatments with Cards Spray. Hit me up I’ll take a look for you.
@@kurtscardcare Hey Kurt. I emailed you the pictures.
Once dry can I apply the card polish after? Thanks!
Absolutely, let the card dry between the mats for four days/till dry and then transfer it to your top loader for another several days. Make sure it’s 100% dry and then you can do the final touches. Great question.
Do you think it would work on a 1977 Topps fb card that has minor creases?
Yes, I think you have room for improvement. You might not need to soak the whole card. You might be able to just work on the crease. Get a couple base cards out and test. 🤘🏼
Must have sent off to PSA, as no update on new grade.
Nope, sorry about that. I did an update on Instagram. It went up to a 3. I didn’t do it yet, but I might crack it for another reevaluation. I think it looks a little better.
@@kurtscardcare I was going to say, definitely better than a half point upgrade.
@@thomasdaubert1114 I agree, I thought I’d get a 4. I’ll probably try again.
How wet can you get a ‘68 Topps?
As much as needed but I would always do a test run on a 68 base to get comfortable
So just jump right in on a Ryan Rookie, got it!@@kurtscardcare
I was able to make good progress on creases, but now I need to get the bend out of it. It seemed to dry faster on the back and curve towards the back. So I'll get the front a little wet and press and wait. These are fun projects. Thanks for posting and giving us all info to have courage to take a shot.
@@g8risgr849 😄
What about 70’s cards with ink? Thanks
I’ve been able to get a little bit of ink off the front or the back. If it’s heavy, it is permanent. But there’s a couple different options you could do. If you’re on Instagram, you can shoot me a picture. It’s not one set of advice fits all
I would love to know results
What it graded after you re-submitted.
I have enjoyed the videos. Thank you for sharing.
Hoping to get it back soon. I’ll definitely keep you posted.
Can we send you cards to restore?
Thanks for asking but I don’t personally take on cards. I make the demos and products at www.kurtscardcare.com
@@kurtscardcare Understood. Will check out your products.
These would be better videos if you showed the cards after cleaning AND regrading
He will
What do you mean? Watch to the end. I show the after.
I think he means the after grade. Can’t wait to see this one.
Ballsy.
If this was my first time, I agree 100%
I’ve done it 1000 times, but always practice on a base card and get comfortable. It will be something you know how to do and not worry about.
Very ballsy. Love it
