    When you're done soaking the card in the solution, are you able to reuse the solution or do you trash it?

    • @kurtscardcare

      With vintage cards like this, I would suggest getting rid of it because it’s usually really dirty. Excellent question.

      @kurtscardcare I have a huge collection of Babe Ruth cards ..and I only buy lower grade so most have the same type of problem to what u do.. they need cleaning or restoration. The one I'm mentioning is a 1922 Babe Ruth W575-1 ..super rare blank back. I think only 4 in existence. It has some creasing and missing a corner. But I am mostly curious if there is a way to help get the creasing out of it? I also have a 1928 Cando Co Ruth graded 1 ..that needs staining removed. Would ur solvents work ?

    • @kurtscardcare
      @kurtscardcare  8 місяців тому

      I haven't worked on those personally. I don't know if there's any chance you can get some base cards from the same year of players that are not as valuable. I would just do the same exact practices that I'm doing here but you just want to test on those cards first. I've worked on cards as old as 1887 through the prewar stuff like T205 t206, Goudey and Play Ball with great success @@JAYENRAP

    Was there paper loss in the bottom left corner or was that something else? How did you fix that corner? Amazing work

    • @kurtscardcare
      @kurtscardcare  9 місяців тому

      I thought it was paper loss too. I zoomed in with my microscope to see it was a stain. I kept lightly touching it with the tortillion and it really helped.

    What is the “card spray” solution?

    • @kurtscardcare
      @kurtscardcare  9 місяців тому

      It’s a spray that I make to do a variety of things on cards from vintage to modern stuff. It has a few applications from soaking cards like this to corner and edge repairs and cleaning the surfaces of more modern cards.

    You know, there are some having a shit fit about restoring cards, saying they are altered and they are not. Trimming is altered. If a person dogears a corner of a baseball card on the top layer, then bends it back to where it was supposed to be is that altering a card? No. If I buy an original paint car and wet sand then buff the paint, it's not altering the car.

      I just work on my cards and a couple close friends. I make these demonstrations to help other collectors out. I make the card care products as well. When I started working on cards, it took me a little bit to understand what was going on. But it doesn’t make me nervous anymore. It’s pretty exciting. It just takes a little bit to understand the process and the materials of the cards. After that it’s just a good time.

      @@robertwilliams5352 well said, I just like little projects and making little improvements on something that I enjoy to collect. That’s kind of the most basic way to look at it. It’s easy to ruin a card if you don’t know what you’re doing. So I like to keep it simple and don’t push them too far.
