I very much appreciate the work you do, just getting more into cards lately, but I do the exact same type of work for sneakers. I started with personal pairs, then moved to buying projects to fix up and keep/sell, now I take orders monthly from customers. There is a fine art to fixing things and restoring or creating value, it's the best feeling being able to present a finished product that turns out better than you received it.
@@kicksandcollectables I love this message. I feel we can both connect on that feeling of accomplishment when it comes to restoring something cool. I sincerely wish you the absolute best with the business and I hope you have amazing customers. Keep up the great work. 🤘🏼
Got the kit for Xmas. Super stoked. I’ve been nervous about trying to fix the blown corners results and the wax on the vintage cardboard. This was impressive. WOW.
I really appreciate that, working on cards is fun. I try to make as many demos as I can to show you the different things that can be done but if you have any questions, make sure you ask. You’re part of the family so I’m always happy to help you out. Kurt
Have fun with it, I have some Pokémon demonstrations on my playlist labeled TCG. Just be careful with any moisture and Pokémon cards. I find that they’re easy to ruin so I typically use humidity and my Card tool to work on edges or corners. Thanks for the comment.
Just got my box today. Super stoked yet anxious! Got some Jordans to work on, mainly SGC 6 86-87 Fleer Sticker I was to see if I can get regraded. Will watch all videos and work on some similar cards first to learn.
Have a good time David, if you have any wax stuck to the back of the stickers, use the card polish. It will take it right off, enjoy the cleaning session 🤙🏼
Your hands are MAGIC😮. Awsome fix. I have so many Jordan cards I neglected too. 🥲. But to have the time and patience. Maybe one day I will prepare my 80s - 90s cards.
I hope to find out soon, I took this card from my buddy because of the issues and I gave it back to him a month ago and every time I ask him about it he says I’m gonna do it soon… 😄
@@joeymak2000 hey Joey, good question all the tools are good and you’ll see me use them interchangeably. Sometimes I’ll use a Q-tip because I need to get into a smaller area. Sometimes the rust color will be permanent. But I’ll do methods where I use my card spray, I’ll call it a semi soak. Click on the vintage folder and watch some of the videos at the top called semi-soak, you’ll see how I work with stains.
Thanks, no, I actually teach how to do it. I also make the products that I use. If you want to learn more feel free to check out my website. www.kurtscardcare.com.
@@kurtscardcare Thats too bad. You could make a killing offering this service. I dont trust my shaky hands enough to do most of this type of precision work.
So, the new style cards you use the same tools and techniques? I bought a card and it came with a bent corner. Its an auto randy moss.. so im scared to work on it myself honestly. Do card stores usually offer this service?
Paper cards are easier to fix when it comes to issues like this. I have a playlist called edges and corners where I show a variety of things that I can teach you. Some stuff just won’t go back to normal but for everything else I try to make a demo of.
wow that was crazy. Alot of those fleer's get the yellowing on the exposed edges. Is there any way to get that out? I have pages and pages of great cards but unfortunately they all or most have that discoloration on the backs.
@@kurtscardcare Yeah I kind of figured since it was pretty much only the cards that could have been exposed that got it. I think there is a way but itll take some figuring. I do know that when I sent in an Erving Johnson to SGC that had some on it just to see how they would grade i, it came back as a 9 and the staining was gone? So they have some sort of trick?!

@@jorgeruano5570 occasionally yes. if it’s very light and if it’s on the front surface, I’ve been able to remove it with Card polish. But if it’s deep into the card or on the back of the card zero success. If you want my opinion, you can always send me a picture via email or on Instagram.
Grades can be weird sometimes. This is definitely off-center, but I thought it was graded harshly. I think this one came back PSA 8. I’m cool with that.
Nice video, but this video, is exactly why the grading companies make their money. Seems they know, collectors often use many methods to affect a card's condition, and they do spend the money to gear themselves up to detect changes in a card's composition. I found that out, when I cleaned an older card, and despite my methods, they used one of their card scanners to detect the changes made in the general appearance of the card. Though the card looked awesome, they graded my card down, just because they treated it like a vintage penny that I shined up, using Brasso or something, lol. ;)
Sorry to hear that. Im not sure what happened for you. If you follow my steps you wont hurt or alter your cards and you will get them graded just fine.
I have a Ben Wallace Auto, which had some adhesive sucked into the card and it look liked it has a wet area now not a big area but is noticable, any idea on how to clear it?
You should get some, they are really helpful. They are plexiglass circles. I get them on Amazon. I’ll drop you a link. www.amazon.com/dp/B08LHL3R21/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_2EV70SRC168R3TM7CDQR_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks for the video. I need to fix some fraying on my rookie Walter Payton that has nice centering. Will practice on other cards. By the way, what’s the music playing in the background?
Thanks for the message, Jason, good luck with the Walter. If you're on Instagram, you could always send me a picture if you need any tips. I don't remember the title of the song it's an indemendant artist I'd have to look it up.
Great question, I think this one went to a 7.5. I think I did a follow up on Instagram but this one was a while back. I can’t remember 100%. I remember the centering he held it back

It's called click bait

I thought so too
In fairness, Kurt seems like the Michael Jordan of card care.
Good information and legit product.
Thanks
Very cool! What was the new grade?
Fantastic video
Thank you Sabino, have a great weekend 🤘🏼
Nice work on this one Kurt. Curious what grade this one came back as on the regrade?
What is the corner tool called?
Great video! Can you use your wax cleaner for the surface on this card? Thanks
Yes, no problem with the front
Has the card come back from grading?
Yes. Thanks for asking. This turned into a BGS 8
Interesting
Is that a pencil or pen u use to fix the edges or corners
It’s a tool I make if you need one it’s available at www.kurtscardcare.com
Just ordered the kit! Have you ever started with a psa 8/9 and received a psa 10 after working on it?

How do you determine which tool to use? Like the cotton vs the qtip vs the tool etc?
Also how do you get the rust color off the tops of the backs of these cards? If you know what I mean?

When should I use the McDonald’s moisture straw trick compared to this method? I plan on buying your full kit sometime this week

Love these videos, I have my kit, just ordered the humidor, and I have some cards to practice on. I was wondering how you did on the regrade?
I wish it was centered better! It got a PSA 7
that corner tool, could you just get something like a cheap coffee enema tube and go to town with it?
Dope accent. I love cairds too.

I’m not sure if you can get the yellow to go away. It’s typically from UV light and it changes the cardboard permanently.

Does the corner pencil tool or what ever come with the kit?

Why is the centering so harsh on Beckett? That would easy be a psa 10 right?

New to the channel. This is great stuff! When you resubmit for a grading when you’re done, is there an audit trail since it was graded once before?
No, that’s not an issue. Good question though.
Nice. But what are the grades you get back after having repaired and submitted them?
I put a lot of the grading results as pictures on my Instagram page. I can’t remember 100%. I think this one got an 8.5.
Will this approach work on prizm card stock? I have a jokic psa9 that has one corner ding just like this one...
