Man, you have a talent!!
What a result 😮 Takes some confidence in your skills to work on a card like that. Very very impressive 🤘🏽
Thank you, I appreciate you watching
Phenomenal work sir!
Thank you kindly!
Looks great Kurt! Love the technique under the solution. Same way I cleaned my ‘57 Mantle
Awesome, I love to hear that. Sure is exciting restoring these beauties. Keep up the great stuff brother.
In that condition you got it to, it's looking like a 4-5 thousand dollar card at least, great work, Mayne👍
You did amazing work on that card. Looks awesome man! Thanks for sharing!
Dang. You do great work!
Wowsa 😮
That might be the best one yet! Awesome!
Thanks, Corey I was excited to show this one off. It was fun to work on.
Amazing as always man. The eye appeal is so much better after, especially that corner. 🍻
Damn! I bet you could even make a turd look great! 😂😂😂 Awesome work !
If i put that card in a plate of liquid i would have to clean the card and my pants
That was so nerve wracking to watch while it was in the solution, yet so satisfying! lol
I’m glad you enjoyed it 😄
This is insane kurt, just subbed & look forward to watching more
Thanks Chris, I enjoyed this one too Thanks for watching.
Wow
When you're done soaking the card in the solution, are you able to reuse the solution or do you trash it?
With vintage cards like this, I would suggest getting rid of it because it’s usually really dirty. Excellent question.
Fantastic video and fantastic result. What is that thing you use at the beginning of the video?
Thank you, it’s a little art tool called a tortillion It’s very helpful for hard to reach places and small things.
Was there paper loss in the bottom left corner or was that something else? How did you fix that corner? Amazing work
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.
Sicccccc🎉👍👍
Can u clean any prewar card in the solution you use? What is the solution called? Do u sell it or is it store bought?
I’d have to know more about the card to tell you.
I’m using Kurt’s Card Spray. It’s available at www.kurtscardcare.com
@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 ?
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
So do you resubmit for grading I’m interested what this one grades at
Yep, I’ll post the results when I get them. This one looks pretty good so I’m hoping for the best
Do you do commissions? I don't trust myself to crack a Topps Chrome Lids Mitchell Ness Corbin Carroll orange /25 refractor. It got an SGC 8.5 but I think it deserves better due to a dinged corner and maybe surface issues.
I appreciate you asking, I don’t take on cards to work on personally. But if you can see any issues with it, I can advise you if they’re permanent or something you could potentially fix.
What is the “card spray” solution?
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.
Thanks! That was my assumption but wasn’t sure. How much is the product and where do you sell it?

Can you do that with my babe Ruth card too?
🤔 are these your cards? 🤷♂️ or customers cards ? And do nervous 😬 while doing it?
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.
@@kurtscardcare Exactly. You simply respect the card and don't ask nothing crazy of it.
@@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.
What is that pen device you are using
I have the same question. At 1:21 he says what sounds like "the tortian"

@@kurtscardcare do you use a variety of sizes of tortillons or just the size in that link?
@@DrJoonPark just this size, I think it’s medium
As someone who sketches with graphite and charcoal I knew what it was immediately
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.
would u do some of my cards
I probably have demonstrations that could help you out Mike. I don’t have a service where I do this for you. I make the demonstrations to teach and I also make these products.
