I did not expect to buy this! The original owner brought it into our shop. I walked him through comps, explained that I normally avoid volatile high end cards and offered to auction it for him or to consign it in the shop. He wanted a cash offer so I made one and he accepted! I immediately listed it as a five day eBay auction which ends Sunday night after the game.

Before & After pictures. First 9 are before last 14 are the after. You can tell it’s the same exact card by the tip of the bottom front left corner. Has the slightest touch of orange on it.

This took a while and a bunch or testing on other select cards trying to recreate the issue but after a couple of tries I found reseating the paper between the two sides then giving it a blast with some card spray very lightly was able to reactivate the factory glue and I was able to get it back to MINT/NEAR MINT condition. Wasn’t willing to take the chance of Panini sending me something I didn’t want so I dove in and the end result couldn’t have been better. No foreign materials were used outside of the card spray I use and does not effect the card during the grading process. Nothing inside will affect the grading process I work with what’s there, no trimming, no packing, don’t use anything that would show up on the blue light scan. Just some spray, pressure, proper temperature control and most important of all patience. Instant gratification projects are few and far between.

Always taking on new projects if deemed doable and always buying damaged stuff for new projects. Please feel free to give me a shout here, Facebook at Dicky Mulvey or IG which is also the same.
