The only reason that card was deactivated was because the cleaning was done on video, which was bought to PSA's attention well AFTER the fact that they graded it. So in other words, PSA detected nothing wrong with that card in the first place, else they would have rejected it initially. Instead, they found nothing wrong with it, they autthenticated it, gave it a HIGHER grade, and slabbed it. If anything, THAT alone tells me that Kurts Card care absolutely works and does not do anything detrimental to the card, nor does it violate any grading criteria, else PSA would have rejected it in the first place. People act like Kurt is the sole person doing this ie., cleaning/restoring etc, and that it is a recent thing. When the reality is that it has probably been done forever, with much crazier methods, behind closed doors, and by thousands of people. For all we know, a large portion of PSA, SGC etc., graded cards have been "cleaned"- in fact it is a guranteed certainty that many slabbed cards out there have been through some sort of restoring process similar to kurts care. After all, didn't PSA also deactive the rest of the cards in that order? Which means that ALL of the cards in that order PASSED and got graded, and that PSA did not detect anything wrong with those cards either. So if he never shared the video of that card, then that card and the rest of that order would be out there and no one would even have the slightest clue. I look at this situation with Kurt the other way, in that it is a huge WIN for him and his products, as PSA just acknowledged that they cannot detect anything wrong with cards that use his products. THAT is a ringing endorsement that Kurts Card Care works and works well within PSA's guidelines of authentictaion.
I think of baseball cards as art. And people have great Art restored. And that art is still a masterpiece. If you can restore a 1965 Mickey Mantle than why not. Guys you decided but if I can take creases out than why not.
Appreciate the fact that you’re remaining objective. I’m certainly guilty of being a bit too reactionary at the beginning of this whole controversy. My viewpoint nowadays centers around disclosure. If people want to clean/soak their cards for their personal PC, I see no problem with that. The main issue at hand is trying to pass it through grading companies who are against the practices, and ultimately the end buyer, while hiding what was done.
I love me a good rant! I have some products I am going to try while recording it and put it on my channel. I am curious of what products work and what doesn't. I am sure I will get some support and some hate. Such is life when you give your opinion. Don't be just a guy, be a biological guy! Love it.
I have a question, PSA just released that they are doing a PSA 10 Prep thing that you can pay $15 and they will prep your card for you, do you think they are only using a microfiber to justify charging you $15, I think not, it is my belief they are using items similar to Kurt's, I said this a month ago when PSA attacked Kurt that PSA would develope their own or hire someone to develope something similar and claim it's safer than Kurt's,
From my experience cleaning off track marks, it is inevitable that you will need to use some sort of agent to remove said marks. I think it's a money-making sceme like their new game worn cards.
Can I ask you what you think about the corner tool to maybe fix a corner if it’s a little bent out of shape, or maybe going down the edges with your finger, and wiping off finger prints or other crap with a microfiber. I think in my own opinion all that is 100% ok. Obviously everyone wants the best grades for there cards and to me none of that is near altering. What do you think about those techniques?
I have not used his tool as I am a collector of modern cards. I do not have the time, patience nor the skill to essentially wash cards on a substance that has no ingredient's list. I will never attack Kurt personally, but the criticism of the product is sound.
If he had his ingredients listed, people wouldnt be upset. Ive been collecting cards forever and clean them when needed. Is it wrong to wash your car before you sell it?? I have never read the ingredients to products i use on my vehicles before i wax or wash lol. Wtf is the deal. I never knew of Kurts guy but went and watched vids. Seems like a dude trying to make it man. People are upset because they dont know ingredients to replicate. Its crazy how well knock the little guy down but throw our hard earned money at the big business who we know we are rolling the dice with, and screws us more often than not. Rather help build, than knock down if you ask me.

@@JC-pu7gi Good point of view. No heart on this one...
Rules are rules and PSA made it clear where they stand...no one is attacking the man here so...
@@TheCarolinaCollectorit’s just a weird stance and feels extremely hypocritical
Yess Love the statement of essentially think for yourself be objective! Lead dont follow

@@TheCarolinaCollector They are 100% restoring cards

Rubbing alcohol and water in the spray bottle. I can tell how it bubbles when kurt soaked the card.
majority of soaps has a ph of 9-10. My first thought was "could it be beewax ?"
no hate - so its not ok to use Kurts but its ok to spray them with wood furniture spray? How is that not the same.? Just asking, new to collecting
It is mostly to get fingerprints and dust off of certain cards. Lately I'll use furniture polish as an absolute last resort...
What is your link to your eBay store ? The care you take I rather buy the raw from you .
Since I don't trust UA-cam, seach for "thecarolinacollector001" on Ebay. My avatar is the same...
@@TheCarolinaCollector thank you will be checking out your Trout raw cards
@@svenpatrick1637 Any time my friend...I'll be dropping more cards when I have some time so keep an eye out.
Where do you order the cardboard sleeves?
Ebay
Hi, does Kurt's remove small pen marks from cards? Thanks
I don't know...I never tried.
LOL. Radio guy being your source of info is being subjective to begin with.
Without them trolling, they brought up good points to me.
What?? What is this video about? Your all over the place bud
I'm famous
@@TheCarolinaCollector WHAT??

Tell that to PSA
Who is this guy...? He's taking out of both sides of his mouth
And who are you exactly?
Kurt’s is great! One guy company. Trade secret. That’s all.
Kurt's card care is shoe wax/polish. That's what you're smelling
Still, what's in it?
Who tf is this guy?
@@ronnieripz Who are you? You should check your sub count...lol🤣
I think Kurt's method is better than this guy
I never said I had a method dumb a**
