Question for all of you is there any safe way to remove a wax stain? I heard Lighter fluid, never tried it but have heard someone use it. The card is a present my brother bought me allowing me to check off another card I don't need towards completing my 1961 topps set. I heard that the older cards are worth sending into PSA so since this is a big card for the 1961 set I wanted to see what you all thought. I quick look it presents itself well at it I would say a PSA 6, but I'm not to good at grading, still learning I guess. see scan below). I also scanned the back so you all could see the wax stain. LMK what you all think thanks

It's fine the way it is IMO.
You could send it to Dick Towle for stain removal. Cost ya like 25 bucks or so.

I would leave card like it is. You can always sell and upgrade later if stain bothers you.

Works miracles wont hurt card. Does not leave a scent
Bestine

That will work for wax stains on front (glossy) side but not the back. Have never tried Bestine for that. Does it work?

Oh man, can you imagine being the poor sap who bought that card from Robert W thinking it was mint, only to be surprised to find out it was altered when he subbed it?
The card it's self looks good to me. I would just leave it be as well. If the set your putting together is around that overall grade I think it will look awesome with your set. ENJOY IT

About a year ago I asked Bobby about this. No response.
If you can remove stain with Bestine and they don't pick up on it, you could get a PSA 4-5 no qualifier.
