OK - tonight's the big night I think. 1970 BB Cello Crack --OLD

in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
Unless I get cold feet or work won't leave me alone, I'll be cracking this tonight. Hopefully, I'll be rewarded with more than a few solid keepers, but at least it will be my biggest card adventure in a LONG time.

For your amusement, and hopefully not to help me get over the pain, I'll post scans as I go.



The Front - Before

The Back - Before

I need a beer before I start. Back later. image

    Did the thought of his upcoming crack give you a movement?

    Sweet! The centering looks solid on the front, the back shouldn't be that bad top to bottom throughout.

    Waiting for the first Pale Ale to kick in so my hands won't shake TOO much while sawing.....

    Just so I'm sure - you saw through the middle and then re-tape the cards, right???

    The Shannon has a little bump left edge at the top, but not fatal.

    Almost ready..... unless quik gets more persuasive, or at least a bit detailed.

    Make sure the flame setting on the torch you use to melt the plastic slab isn't set too high.
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.
