Please Help 49 50 51 Bowman 49 leaf

tv

Need some expert advise here! I picked up about 400 cards, 1949-50-51 Bowman and 1949 Leaf, problem is they are glued on an old type of constuction paper, since 1949. I have took a couple off and you can see what they are looking like. Leave them as is, take them off, value, use a soulation to try to remove glue, what the heck do I do? Thanks Troy. Alright a little more help, never posted a pic on here be for, I have scans brought to the gray upload box, but cant get them to this post.

Thanks, a little confuseing, this is what I have done, can someone point out were I am going wrong. At the end of my post, I hit the attach file button, then a upload box appears, in the browse tab I bring in a scan from a folder, then I hit the upload button, the file name then list under the file listing, at that point I cant get any farther.

I don't know if this is much help or not, but about 15 years ago a friend of mine bought a large group of 1948 or 1949 Leafs, 1952-53 Topps, and 1953 Bowmans that were the same way (glued to construction paper). He eventually shipped them off to a chemist, I think, who removed the cards from the paper and any glue residue. The cards were otherwise NM or better. He did real well in selling them to dealers. I think it was fairly expensive to get it done, and he did only the stars.

Re: Judgebuck's post: there is a guy who does this very well. Name is Dick Towle. I think his operation is called, "Gone With the Stain." Maybe google his name for more info. Probably won't be cheap, but it can be done.
