Found this 1993 Upper Deck McDonalds Jordan hologram in a stack of old cards. Used some of Kurts Card Care recovery to get some scratches out then finished it up with some card polish and it looks like new.

A little while back I posted about a Josue De Paula auto that I purchased that arrived with scratches. I ordered Kurt’s Card Care, watched the YouTube videos, practiced on a few base cards, and then tried it on the De Paula. I wanted to share the results. The first two photos show the scratches. The second two photos are the after. Product worked well. Card still isn’t gem mint, but much better

I'm collecting the true Gold Refractor variants of all the Reds in 2025 Topps Chrome, and purchased this Lowder RC on eBay. Unfortunately, when it arrived it had some light scuffing on its surface. I usually fix things like this with a little bit of Meguiar's ScratchX, but I decided to try some of Kurt's Card Care Recovery. In the end, it did a great job, and paired well with Kurt's Polish and/or liquid carnauba wax (which ever you prefer as a final buff).

Since I like to start with the least aggressive fix and work towards more aggressive methods as needed, I'd say Recovery is less aggressive than ScratchX, which is less aggressive than Meguiar's Ultimate Compound (which I use to clean up plastic graded slabs).

Finally had a chance to crack open my package from Kurt’s Card Care and mess around a bit! Tonight I did a simple clean and polish on a couple Prizm cards and a modern paper card. They weren’t in bad shape—just the usual smudges and fingerprints—but the card spray and polish really made them pop! Super excited to dive into the vintage stuff soon… all in good time! Loving the process already!

The only thing nicer than a chrome HFA is a chrome HFA you got for a deep discount. A seller offered me this card at about 2/3 comps because there were some marks on the card. He figured they were scuffs, but I had a hunch they were roller marks left over from production that I could clean up with a couple tricks I keep in my back pocket. Sure enough, I was right and was able to clean this card up really nicely for the PC.
