Vintage Sports Cards - Fixing Bends & Dents 

Thank you Sabino

I’m not sure, I think the surface on the 90 Fleer is pretty tight versus the vintage texture. By all means, give it a try, if it works out well please let me know. It’ll be a good tip to pass on.

Just don’t trim your cards or add any color to them. That will definitely be an alteration. But restoring them back to the original condition has never been an issue. I use PSA all the time. Great question.

I’m not sure, I’ve never tried, but I can tell you that it doesn’t work on any sort of TCG. It has to have a paper finish versus plastic/clearcoat.

Just practice on your base cards, I have a few other demonstrations it will walk you through it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eZwchbSXR74.html

I don’t have that option, I keep really busy with the product manufacturing and all of the teaching and support side. If it’s something you ever want to learn, I can always help you in that regard.

Sure no problem, I use the humidor preferably in a warm room between 75 to 80°. And the humidor sets itself to 70% humidity. I have a video labeled humidity. That’s a couple months old where I go into it more in depth. If you want to watch it it’s right here on RU-vid.

@@kurtscardcare thanks alot .

I’m so sorry, I forgot to reply, 70%

@@kurtscardcare Thanks Kurt. I found it in another one of your videos. 👍

I use card spray found at www.kurtscardcare.com

Thanks for asking, I can’t personally. But if you’re on Instagram hit me up, I know a couple guys that can do card care and grading submissions if you need something like that.

It’s a cleaning spray that I make. It’s good for cleaning guards and working on wrinkles on vintage cards like this.

When you hold a card with little clips like this, it’s much less pressure and torque than a screwdown. But that’s a good observation for sure. If you have any screwdown damage, I can show you how to fix it.

For sure, Mike, thank you for asking www.kurtscardcare.com/products-we-love

I would definitely try. If it’s your first attempt just work on a base card first.

Yes, I’ll drop you a link to all the accessories I use www.kurtscardcare.com/products-we-love

Sorry. I can't remember... This works on vintage and paper but not on a modern card with a clear coat.

I do, it’s just that you can do different things. Sometimes you don’t have to soak a whole card if you just wanna work on a couple creases.

Thanks for asking. I make it and it's available at www.kurtscardcare.com

That’s a great question. If you notice I only used a little bit of moisture on this card. That means it dries pretty quick. So I was able to hold it flat for an hour or so just to let the remaining Cards Spray rest in the card. Then I put it in the humidor and it worked out really well. Be super careful not to smash the card. To tight. If you get a card, totally wet do not clamp it down. It will smash the edges and corners. On my more recent videos, the cards have been dirty with lots of wrinkles, and I’ll typically soak the entire card. When you do that you gotta dry the card super slow. I use the card mat material to help wick away the moisture. Stuff like that takes a couple days between three plates. But if you’re just working on a wrinkle one or two like this, it’s a pretty quick job.

Hey John, they are cheap. You can get them on Amazon from $20 to 40 I’ll drop you a link to all the stuff I use www.kurtscardcare.com/products-we-love

Unfortunately, no, the plastic finish on the front makes it impossible to get those to move. I would advise just leaving it alone.

Modern paper cards you can restore a little bit. But if it’s like a chrome/prizm, this will not work.

@@kurtscardcareso I could use this method on a quad patch card? For the smaller areas on the side of the card. Kinda bent/creased.

@@lucassnell5650 you can use extremely small amounts of moisture on more modern cards. But take a look at my edge /corner playlist. I have patch cards on there that I can show you some good stuff with.

Thanks Joey, I teach and make the products. I don't offer card services personally.

I wish. The card material is different and every time I try to do this to a Pokémon and just gets wrinkly. I am not successful in getting any sort of creases to go away 100% out of a Pokémon card

It's probably pretty challenging. I'm not sure if it's doable. If you're on Instagram, shoot me a picture I'll give you my best advice.

Unfortunately, not, this technique is great for vintage mainly from the 30s to 60s

@@kurtscardcare bummer, I wish there was a way to fix ultra modern!! I appreciate all the good work you’re doing to help all our collectors!!

It doesn’t work the same, unfortunately. Sometimes you can use light moisture for small minor issues. However, I find that most creases are permanent on TCG.

Hey Linda, I’m so sorry that I didn’t see your message. I know it’s been a while. If you click on my playlist paper vintage/cards, I was successful…kind of with removing tape. It’s a Ted Williams/Babe Ruth card. You will see it. But I’ve tried multiple times and often times I ruin the surface. So it’s not consistent. I’m gonna keep trying.

Unfortunately, the moisture application will not work the same way on Pokémon. But you can use my card polish, that does a nice job of cleaning the surfaces if you need that.

Mine is $30

He is selling a product. Surely he isn't going to tell you his trade secret formula.

@@antonioangeloviii4748 No. Not water.

As long as it has a soft paper finish. This will not work on the front of a plastic/prizm card.

@kurtscardcare worked like a charm. I used a lil dab of alcohol barely watered down so it would dry quick. I practiced on garbage base first.

I was wondering the same thing

The dial is called a hydrometer, and it sets itself to 70%. Nothing you have to do.

There is a little cartridge you keep in the box. You just keep it full of distilled water

I can't take on your card but I can teach you how to do it :)

Thank you!
