Ah ty
I looked on your Photobucket and really only saw 5-06 items, nothing I have an interest in
granted, I got a laugh at the sight of baseball companies making Bobbleheads to make a buck :) I guess that ranks right up there with card grading :) Anything to make a buck off of a consumer.
Hey,if you run into any newer Bowman 2001+ ( yes, I know old for new is not a bright move in most cases) let me know. Most of this collecting is being done with some of my kids and we all agreed to work on Bowman sets and subsets :)

But thank you
Now, why do so many use Bucket over image shack ?There is a non-jargon question :)

How did you get the glue off? I see it didn't work well on part of the card, but were other parts glued tot he paper that you were able to get off?
I ask because I have some cards that were my uncle's in the 1950s, but they are glued to paper. However, only a small part of the back of each card has glue on it. Some of the cards are Mantle, Ted Williams, and an Aaron rookie. Fortunately, the Aaron had fallen off the page on its own.

That is simple. Sadly I do not have images of the Mays card, It looked near perfect with minor discoloration.
Through trial and error on commons, I was able to use an x-acto knife,weighted with a taped Tire weight,cut in half,at the base of the head. I would place the blade to the glue spot, begin moving back and forth,slightly,and watch a TV show.
It took HOURS to remove glue spots hehe, but it was rewarding too an extentLast edited by CompleteGibberish; 08-27-2009 at 12:53 PM. Reason: fixed confusing wording

Oh
Cut away all of the paper till you get jsut a bit of an over hang,to be able to grab with tweezers.
Place hot water in a coke bottle, CLAMP IT DOWN ( no acidents) place the card glue spot, should be plenty small enough, over the hole, let it sit for 20-30 secs,remove it see if you can tweeze the paper clear or if there is any more give.
Rinse and repeat until you can.
I never tried this method as it jsut came to me, but I would if the situation arose again. The science is simple since the glues base should be protein since it an older glue. The heat and moisture will cause the protein to begin breaking down rapidly,due to its age and should pull free. Now,this is assuming it was clear glue used, pre-1965
If it was from 66 forward, I would stick with the X-acto method

Great cards guys, but I am looking for Bowman 2001- current.
I am not looking to swap an old card for 10 new cards with a comparable value. I wish to aquire bulk,sets,from my choice ranges in Bowman.
I hope this is more clear.
I also have an interest in bulk 2006-2009 Rookies. I find it a safer investment than anything really.
So,let me know. I am holding off on buying boxes for a week until I am able to see how trading goes and If I will end up with enough of each year to limit my money out for wax.
I am trying to make sets for these years, in Bowman,and the subsets as inexpensively as possible.
I hope this clears any confusion up :)
