I once again started collecting MOC TMNT action figures from the old toy line. I am looking for tips on how to repair the packages? Any tips of removing price tags, straightening card back, repairing rips, tares, or scuffs?
Thanks for any help.
As far as removing price tags is concerned, you shouldn't have much of a problem if the tag is on the card itself, since the glue has most likely degraded. If the tag is on the bubble, you might have to use some sort of window cleaner in order to get every last bit of it off. It takes time and patience, but it's worth it. You'll probably have to spray, wipe, wait, and then repeat the process until you're satisfied.
Straightening card backs is a tough one, but a lot of times you can just bend them in the oppostie direction. It's better than nothing.
Where the card has been ripped or torn, you might use some paint or markers to touch it up, and then coat the area with a small amount of artwork fixitive.
Good luck!
