Removing gloss

[jswaykos]

Hi all,

Quick question - after using an eraser to rid cards of their gloss, are they supposed to look/feel different? I've experimented with a few and sharpies definitely tend to "stick" better to cards, but they feel the same. Is this still the best option for Chrome-type cards for TTM?

sorry, new at this... but baby powder instead of using an eraser??? Just rub it on or what? Seems kind of odd.

thanks jeff, that was cool to see.

I laughed when I saw that part about anthrax... being in Canada I never think about stuff like that.

Once I figure out the whole return postage thing, I'll give it a try.

for return postage you could use 2 forever stamps or 1 75 cent stamps, i have some that you could buy/trade for becuase i need some canadian stamps

good luck with ttm

Here my experiment. I leave the card on the hot sun with a penny sleeve on it. Best to leave it inside your car with direct sunlight since its hotter inside than the outside. Leave it for 2-4 hours then use an eraser on the card. It worked well since I have gotten Chrome cards signed without the messed up ink. I came up with the idea when I saw a shining of chrome tricked out car. Thought the chrome absorb the sunlight more than metal.
