Pokémon Crease Repair

I found a Lugia with a pretty severe crease. Foil is typically hard to get results with but no matter what it’s always worth a shot. This one worked out a little bit better than I expected. Check it out, I hope this helps.

wow great work im very impressed keep up the good work!

[@weetjijwel050]

working wonders, nice!

[@kicksandcollectables]

Amazing work as usual, I'll hold out hope one day that some of the really bad ones I have can be fixed by you when you find some new crazy tricks lol.

[@rscabbage]

I feel like creases always leave scars when it comes to Pokemon cards. Nice improvement though!

[@kurtscardcare]

@@rscabbage I agree with you. I almost didn’t even bother but I figured why not… Any improvements cool. This one worked out pretty well. It did take four days. I did little adjustments every day. But I was proud of it and I figured if anybody has anything like this, they would much rather have it small than the most noticeable thing.

[@rathpunks]

And the scars remind us that the cards are real...

[@pokadan]

Wowww thats awsome bro keep doing what your doing.

[@adampickett7518]

Looks a lot better. Good job mate

[@kurtscardcare]

Appreciate that!

[@yodlike]

interesting! Thanks for posting and sharing!

[@kurtscardcare]

Thanks for watching!

[@kalinadesseaux8011]

Too new: can you please list all the tools you used? What are the black sheets, what's that circle where do you get it? What kind of clips? What is the rod handheld thing you use towards the end?

Let's go❤

[@osiride]

Did you repeat the moisture-on-mats process several times in those days of work on the card? I've noticed the texture of the card becomes a bit…wet? If that makes sense, when I try this method. Could it be because I've used too much product? Thanks as always for your input, love your work

[@kurtscardcare]

@@osiride yes I repeated moisture, but only when the previous moisture is dry. You gotta keep it real light. You can soak the heck out of sports cards and that’s how I treated TCG at first. I realized that’s the wrong way. I would ruin them with too much moisture. Just a light touch of it does wonders.

[@Jslaughter]

Which kit would you recommend then for a light crease like that? Also, if you can point out what clamps and plastic enclosures aswell? I’ve got a base set charizard with a damage just like that but not on the holo! Just the back side and would Love to give your product a try. For years I’ve regretted playing with my cards as a kid lol. You might just have what it takes to reverse the damage.

[@kurtscardcare]

@@Jslaughter my Card care kit would be just fine, then you would want to pick up some acrylic plates and some drying pads I’ll drop you some links below www.kurtscardcare.com Accessories- www.kurtscardcare.com/products-we-love TCG - www.kurtscardcare.com/tcgcardcleaning

[@Jslaughter]

Does the care kit come with 2 mats? Also, are the “drying pads” the circle cotton pads?

[@kurtscardcare]

@@Jslaughter the drying pads and the card mat are the same material. The card care kit comes with one, I have a vintage bundle that comes with eight of them. However, you’re gonna go through these things and I suggest getting more. I get this material on Amazon. Here’s the link www.kurtscardcare.com/products-we-love

[@mikeyspikey]

The card mat you used in the video for pressing. Is that the same one you sell in the kit? The one in the kit looks filmsy, but the ones in the video look firm

[@kurtscardcare]

@@mikeyspikey Yes. It’s toolbox liner like I put in the Card Care kit. They have a couple options. I use quarter inch and eighth of an inch thick. I use them both so you must have noticed the quarter inch thick.

[@mikeyspikey]

@kurtscardcare that makes sense. 2 different thickness. 👍

[@kurtscardcare]

@@mikeyspikey in my opinion, I don’t think one is better than the other. I use them both interchangeably.

[@cloakedgt]

i have a team rocket dark dragonite with 2 creases but its in pretty decent shape other than that dont see really any other defects, when i saw a PSA 10 price....1200...thats insane, someone at my school gave it to me because it was "old" at the time ive had it for about 20 years

[@ZstormVR]

Did you work the wrinkle out while the card still had some moisture in it or when it was dry? And was that working moisture attained via pads like in the video or maybe the humidor? I have a similar issue but nowhere near as extreme right on the end of the border and I want to see if I can get it out!

[@christopherpeters3139]

I would love to see a video of doing this with yugioh creases

[@kurtscardcare]

@@christopherpeters3139 did you see this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5Cxl6Kwo8Rqb5Isi=MQ2dYwzeVgfZlAqB

[@sTraPattone]

Hey, i recently bought your card spray. I tried fixing creases on some YGO cards and i have been getting some decent results with a little bit of patience. I noticed that sometimes the porosity of the black mats gets imprinted on the card, did something like that ever happen to you? What could be the cause? I am using almost identical tools like you. Thank you for your help!

[@kurtscardcare]

@@sTraPattone I’m glad to hear that you’re making some progress. I haven’t had the mats ever leave a texture that I don’t like. If you’re using the same mats that I suggest it might be that you used a little bit too much moisture, and the texture got a little wonky. Let me know if that makes sense.

[@Archdjinn]

How do you prevent cards (Pokémon specifically) from getting that wavy pattern after drying in this way? Or can you get it out with a dry set press?

[@kurtscardcare]

I break it down here - www.kurtscardcare.com/post/remove-dents-from-pokemon-cards

[@Hugeness55]

Do you push along the crease lines or do you go perpendicular

[@kurtscardcare]

@@Hugeness55 all of it, but I keep the pressure from my hand fairly light. I’ll go with the crease and I’ll go against it over and over and over…

[@dennis8559]

How do I get the cards dry again after the acrylic process if I don't have a humidor? My cards bend a lot afterwards...😕

[@kurtscardcare]

Check out the tips here - www.kurtscardcare.com/post/card-care-guide-the-soak-and-dry-process

[@kurtscardcare]

@@dennis8559 take a look at this chart, I can help you fix that. It only curves because you let it dry too quickly. You can always take a step backwards and put a light spray on each pad and let it dry thoroughly. if you’re on Instagram and you need me to take a look at a picture feel free to reach out. I’ll help you get over this little bump and you’ll be up and running.

[@PokeKlipz]

What spray did you use? 🤔

[@kurtscardcare]

Kurts Card Spray. You can find it here. www.kurtscardcare.com

[@chibearslight1900]

I cleaned a vintage card with spray and the shine this morning the card had folded up a lot 😢 did I do something wrong

[@kurtscardcare]

@@chibearslight1900 folded? Did you get the card soaking wet? That definitely something that would mess up a card. You can send me a picture if you need some help. Just practice on cheap stuff if you’re new to this. No reason to make any mistakes.

[@TCG-DEALZ-PLUS]

Spraying it damages the edges? Does the padding fix the watered damaged edges?

[@kurtscardcare]

@@TCG-DEALZ-PLUS if you use too much spray and get the card saturated you can mess it up. But light spray with repetition on the pads produces great results.

[@elvetico]

Hi Kurt , what were you putting with that long cotton swab on the paper ?

[@kurtscardcare]

@@elvetico I use the swab to massage the dent, and I use the swab to transfer little bit of card spray

[@codymihoyminoy5635]

Where can i get the tool? To work at the crease. and does the sheet material matter? Or can i use like a couple microfibers or paper towel even?

[@kurtscardcare]

@@codymihoyminoy5635 you can pick up the products I make on my website and the accessories I use I get on Amazon. www.kurtscardcare.com you can click on the tab “products we love” and that will access the Amazon products

[@shan_navi]

What about tiny white nicks on the edges or corners? Do you use the same tool to smooth it out?

[@kurtscardcare]

@@shan_navi you can smooth them out, but the white is usually the result of missing paint which is permanent

[@Thealiano]

awesome does this works on yugioh cards ?

[@kurtscardcare]

@@Thealiano yes, thanks for asking. Take a look at my TCG playlist, I got some good Yu-Gi-Oh stuff on there. ✌🏼
