Is there a way to clean an imperfection on a Chrome card?
By imperfection, it looks like when it was signed, Kevin Gausman must have dotted the marker in the white part of the card by accident. Is there a way to possible lightly rub the marker off without damaging the card?
Thank you.

You want to wipe ink off? Not sure if that's a good idea to try but most guys clean their chrome cards with microfiber cloth and a very very very light amount of moisture. I've been thinking about trying a few different substances myself on some junk chrome.

Thanks. I may end up making the whole card blue....lol I want to get it graded and don't know if that would be a ding on the surface grade.

Graded by Beckett? Yes, definite ding on Surface.

I think haze28 above had the right idea on trying different different methods on no value chrome. I think I'll grab a Sharpie and do a little test drive myself. I'm glad the question was asked. I have several chromes that could use some cleaning.
It does no good to get on the right track if you are headed in the wrong direction.

Rubbing alcohol, a tissue and some light rubbing work great......done it before and got mint surface grades....only use on the spot you want to remove because it will remove all ink
