I tried the distilled water soaking method on a 1964 Topps Killebrew- which had a large tan stain on the top of the card. Other than the stain it is beautifully centered with nice corners. I first experimented with a few less expensive common cards to make sure I wouldn't ruin the Killebrew. I was surprised but it worked. After a lengthy drying process, the stain is gone. Did I get lucky? I don't know but I'm happy with the results.
A lot of cards look like that when you look at them thru a jeweler’s loupe. It’s usually difficult seeing them to the naked eye, but this process def seemed to make it more pronounced. I think the lighting and the fact that this process also cleaned the surface of the card is making it more noticeable too.
I think you are exactly right. I have to say this... WHAT A DUNCE MOVE!, seriously, who would do something like this, and not think of examining the surface of the slats first. Just mind boggling to me
Do you tell customers you treat by know in five years if the card changes because of your treatment. If you disclose your treatment would make you an honest man if not then your really not that honest. What do you tell customers that ask if you have treated any of your cards?
@@JamesSalie I don’t soak my cards, also really bad about selling. Good at buying though. My point was, do as you wish with property that is yours, and yes I agree that deceiving others for financial gain is very wrong
@@larryblotter this needs to be considered at least at sale time. Do anything you want just don't hide it if asked if not asked them it's up to you to decide what's right or not right.

Nothing wrong at all with returning a card to it’s former glory. People will call it “alteration”…but it’s not. Would washing your car be a vehicle alteration??? Nope.
@@garygordon3075 I’m not the one who used the vehicle comparison. People have used several different comparisons. I was mainly noticing that a lot of folks conflate 2 very different words. And they should look up the definitions before making such claims.
Ive done tbis by accident with a significant card. It got soaked from a spill of lemon water. I had to do the towel and weigh down method. I thought the card was going to be ruined. But to my surprise...it was in great condition after it dried.
Why shop towels? Those shop towels are abrasive. Not good. The only thing scary about this process is the use of those shop towels. Nothing is more absorbent than a 70/30 blend of a Microfiber towel. Also use a waffle weave microfiber towel even better. The moisture will soak up into the indented towel cut.
This is a very interesting and informative video. I luv it. I havent come across anything like this on RUclips before. Thanks for sharing the results and I hope to see other card maintenance vids. Perhaps, doing a topic on best way to protect or display cards..... top loader, card saver, page binder, screw down, one magnet touch, etc?
If that plank is unfinished, it must have a ruff finish. What is keeping the weight from embedding the card with the ruff edges of the plank. That thin shop towels can't give that much protection especially with a weight on top of that card. I would think you would want to use planks of wood that are sanded down and the wood is smooth.
@@claydontplay8783 Thank you for the thorough video. No need to be safe excellent job.

There are very few “collectors” left. Everyone in the hobby is in it for the money. It’s all about appreciation and investing. You can say I don’t care about the value all you want but deep down inside most keep cards because you believe it will appreciate. It is with this mindset all these “fix” method exist. There is so much money in the hobby you are crazy if you think majority of high value cards have not been fixed up one way or another.
What a genius idea, I would be scared to do it myself..but have thousands of junk wax era cards I could practice on...ty for teaching and Merry Christmas...liked and subbed ❤
The reason soaking gets a bad rap is that some types of cards can be soaked and stretched using pressure. The card can then be trimmed back to normal size
Hi. So, just some background. I've been collecting since the 1970s. I do have baseball cards of this era, but I am mostly a hockey card guy (a math-based RUclips breaker in the community). My honest opinion is this is absolutely brutal. It is clearly a form of alteration, just like taking an eraser to an ink stain or a marker to a white corner. Soaking can alter the surface, density, and consistency of the card. If it is disclosed to a potential buyer, it would tank the value of the card, and affect the grade and authenticity, whereby it should be marked with an "A" for alteration. The entire premise of the hobby - and grading - is condition and legitimacy. Equally, cards change hands and endure wear and tear. Anyone can use advanced technology to rehabilitate a card, its corners, its color, its surface, its edges, etc. Then that card is officially altered, like replacing a car engine or its paint so that it is no longer fully antique. If you soak a card, it is no longer the original card. I personally am dead set against this, least of which because it could trigger or legitimize a whole host of disingenuous ways of cheating in the hobby, absent full disclosure or including before and after photos.
@@mickdebates4039 Cards unlike cars are water soluble. This is more like actual restoration, like stripping paint. I'm pretty sure if you had sold an antique car and the new owner later learned it was stored in a full swimming pool, he would be concerned about structural integrity. In the card world, even light removal of pencil let alone a pen has always been understood as alteration necessitating full disclosure, and graders annotate cards as such.
Interesting take. I wonder - are you against wiping a card clean to rid it of fingerprints/dust? Or more against cleaning with chemicals and solvents to remove an actual stain? Repairing corners to lay them back down flat and sharp? All of these are bad? Only the 2nd two examples are bad, and wiping away dust/fingerprints ok? Thanks ahead of time for an honest answer.
I read somewhere that you have not lived until you have soaked a Babe Ruth card. Can you imagine submerging one of his cards in water. I would be a wreck!
There's better solution that that. I used eyeglass cleaner in a spray bottle - put 1/4 water and just one drop dish cleaning liquid. I've done this quite a few times. I only keep it submerged for 20 minutes. It's amazing what grime will come off a card. Those who say it's altering a card, it's not. Trimming and coloring a card is altering. If I buy a vintage car I'm gonna wet sand it and wash it, repainting a car is altering it.
On old cardboard it can easily disintegrate some of the fibers and leave bumps on the surface of the card. Unsure this method is useful for anything other than personal collection.
Putting them between two pieces of toolbox liner works well also, it's absorbs the water and leaves nothing behind. I learned that from kurtscardcare. Keep up the good work 👍
I soak and clean cards also and was just curious is the residue gum or wax? Do you know? I have used a small amout of Goo Gone to get stuff off and it works well.
You don't need goo gone to remove the adhesive residue. Just take a pair of pantyhose, wrap it around your finger and scrub it. The adhesive will come right off.@@claydontplay8783
I've owned 20 plus 70's and 80's cars. Some original survivors, original paint, dusty as hell, bird shit on them but original paint. I wash the car and buff the original paint. I don't fill in scratches with touch up paint. I'm cleaning the car, not altering the car. I can't see the logic if a baseball card sits in an attic for 60 years and is dirty as hell, who would not try to get it somewhat cleaner. Maybe not soaking the card but something.
NO. ... Pick up a NANO Mister* It's a Card and with that said, it has NO GRAIN DIRECTION. ... It's just Mulch, Cellulose, flattened from tree pulp, natural, so when you soak them, they expand, changing their size. A little nano mister with distilled warm water, maybe a pinch of salt will soften the card after a very light cleaning / buffing. Not all card stock is the same. ... Some thicker and more glossier coated then others. ... So if they expand some, you may get them back from a grader on account that they do not fit into the sized slabs used etc.
@@claydontplay8783 doesn’t matter. PSA and SGC can tell when a card has been altered. Flattening it between two boards thins it out. Washing it removes the old card smell and changes the cardboard. Hope you aren’t selling those to people.
@@claydontplay8783 the entire point of grading is to ensure that only the best surviving cards get good grades. When you start altering the originality, it’s no longer authentic. That’s why PSA and SGC give out Authentic grades to cards that look like they were ran over by a lawnmower. Even those cards are now more authentic than yours once you soaked and compressed them.
Mmmmm... 'residue' pattern and appearance on the Topps card looks an awful lot like a wax stain which is much simpler to remove with a dry paper towel... those boards were 'rough sawn' and could leave nasty impressions in the cards... I'd say this is an earnest, 'How NOT to' vid...
o-pee-chees were made with a different (thicker) card stock than the regular topps and it's similar to the tiffany stock. Also, you have just contributed some hydration to 40 years of nascent fungus and bacteria. My guess is that with a few months there will be mildew black spots popping up through the white borders to the point they eat through the front of the paper. That water is still trapped in the fibers no matter what you do! Sell it as quick as you can!
I cringed when you first did it, but hard to argue with results. Go Cubs Go. Life-long Cub fan here btw. Subscribed too. Found your channel looking for Chrome Platinum break videos. Nice Ryno you got 1/5! I picked up the Banks 2/5 on Ebay
❤I don't see the big deal its just water. Besides people that collect cards these days are morons. If they are willing to pay thousands just because a card is graded a 10. Then they shouldn't care about this.
Is this the freaking amateur hour! You are altering the card and not in a good way. Honestly asinine. Just look at the surfaces of the cards, they absolutely do not look better as you say, they look just like they have been soaked in water and dried flat. I will take a wild guess and say they grade no higher than a PSA 3 or 4. Please spend the money on theses exact cards and submit to PSA to do a follow up video expressing what a bad idea this is so not to influence others to try this. 🤦🏼♂️
I appreciate the constructive criticism. The only thing used was water to cleanse them. I’m not using any solvents or chemicals, nor am I trimming them.
Why you hating? They absolutely look better and he is only doing what’s been going on in the hobby for decades. Guarantee you they will grade out a lot better than what you’re saying.
As far as the residue, pantyhose will take off gum stains, otherwise Kurt's card cleaner would take that off. If it was a chap card try acetone will take it off just not sure what else it might affect.

it appears that the soaking adds like an orange peel look on the surface ? or was the card already like that ?

Im curious to see if they would grade them or if they would notice a difference with it being soaked
If done right they won't
When you finished the soak. I see an indentation on the topps card near sandberg's bat knob. It wasn't there when you started the soak.
I noticed it too. I think the nails in the top board had something to do with that. You can see holes in the shop towel when he lifted the top board.
