That is awesome👍 I been using the tool I bought from you and been getting good results, I transformed a nice, 74 Schmidt the creases to a lot better place and condition! I do want to order your card spray, i’ve been using distilled water and it seem to work OK, but want to try out your spray. Thank you for sharing😊I mostly work with vintage and would love to see you do more Videos, on vintage cards. Especially something with a very tiny pinhole in a 57 Topps
@@kurtscardcare yes, I just seen the repair on the 58 Topps card pretty awesome job. Thank you brother! Kurt, Is distilled water OK to use or is there another ingredients that I should worry about using?
What a improvement! I am surprized you did not try to smooth the wrinkles out after soaking or till the drying phase. I have heard that 1933 and 1934 Goudeys should not be soaked because they fall apart, any truth to this? Thanks for all the great content.
I did a couple more applications on the creases. Through my experience sometimes they just stay there. I would consider Goudy the most well-built paper card ever. Better than Cards today. I’ve worked on thousands of vintage cards and I’ve never had one fall apart. Great question.
That 1933 Goudey Lafayette Thompson that I just soaked made the card spray AT LEAST 2x-3x darker/dirtier than this one did... Eager to see how it dries!
Kurt great videos really enjoy it. Just wondering, if an older card like Goudey needs corner work do you recommend soaking first and then corners, or vice versa? Thanks for the education very interesing!
It’s a good question Rob, if you have to soak a whole card because it’s dirty or wrinkled, you’ll do the cleaning and all of the wrinkle/structural fixing all the same time while it’s drying
@@kurtscardcare Thanks for that info. I have a Scoring Kings Jordan insert from 1993 with a small crease. Would this process work for that type of card? Thx
@@sdfontanini I don’t think so, the materials are different and foil doesn’t move back into shape very well. If you’re on Instagram, you can send me a picture. I don’t mind taking a look for.
If it’s on an old vintage card like this I use the card spray. You can actually use the humidor to let the card dry or rest in after using moisture on the wrinkles. I find humidity works better on modern era cards like thick cards/Flawless/RPA
Good question. For drying Cards, yes. If you use the card mat to polish your cards and clean them on, they get built up after a while and you throw those away.
Super impressive! Wow!! 😊

Robert, make sure you look at my playlists. My vintage and paper card playlist is full of cool stuff

Did the Joe D ever get graded after this? Thanks
Why don't you post the new grade the card got if it was regraded.regarded. Beautiful job by the way.
I can re-edit the grade into the video at a later time. I usually post results on Instagram when I get them via pictures. ✌🏼
It was previously a 1, I just got the grade SGC 2.5.

Great video! When you soak and place the cards in between the plates, does it change the size of the cards dimensions due to saturation and expansion?
Good question, no, I have not experienced that. I just got this card back it graded at 2.5
Thank you sir!

The 100,000 question is, is it an altered card? Or considered as such if re grading? Or is like restoring a old car? Great work though.
I don’t add or take anything away. So I’m gonna have to just consider it restoration/cleaning. Thanks for watching.
Does it come back as restored?
No, it just gets a grade, there’s not a designation for anything different

When should I use a humidor? With stubborn creases/wrinkles? thank you.

Thank you again.@@kurtscardcare
Are the mats reusable?
Good question. For drying Cards, yes. If you use the card mat to polish your cards and clean them on, they get built up after a while and you throw those away.
