What do all of yall think of cards like this that have big stains on the back by either gum or wax? And what value do these cards have. This one Is mint but it has a stain from gum, I pulled it out of a pack but I still love it. Post pics if you have them!!!!

It looks like the little official man is walking though someone's hedge.

I hate when people do that. Especially all the time like my mailman used to do. It never fills in

Sure looks like a minty card. I've seen the (ST) qualifier for a stain smaller than the one above the no.4.

I don't really mind that kind of qualifier, if the front of the card looks ok to me, I'm happy.

I could live with the stains on your card, jmo.

I think it would depend more on what the front of the card looks like. To me, a high end card with a ST qualifier is more appealing than a lesser grade one without...but I know some people would prefer the backs as clean as the fronts.

I actually like wax stained cards. I know I am in the minority but it gives the card a look/feel of nostalgia. Plus, it's more likely authentic! I kind of feel the same way about 50's rough cuts. I like em.

POST PICS OF YOUR NICEST GUM STAINED CARDS OR WAX

Nada?

You will rarely see st qualified cards recycled because eventually the stain will get cleaned off by someone.

How?

wax+ lighter fluid or mr. mints tonic though it takes many many applications. There are more powerful things Id ont know what they are ? Mr. Mint claimed his tonic would not hurt cards. I dont know though?
