How do you dry out a card?
Rub the damp cloth over both sides of the card, then dry ASAP with another soft, clean, dry cloth. Let the cards air-dry completely before you put them away.
Are water damaged cards worth anything?
Water damage ruins paper products. If there’s some dumb expensive cards over $100 in there you might get $10 or less, everything else is worthless. You can never really fix the warping back to total normality, but even damaged, they are worth a pretty penny (albeit a fraction of what they are worth in SP/NM condition).
How do you keep baseball cards in good condition?
The best way to store baseball cards in those numbers would be to use card storage boxes. Since binders can be expensive and can’t hold thousands of trading cards,like card storage boxes can do, we’d recommend placing each one in a protective sleeve and placing it in a specialized trading card box.
Is baseball card collecting dead?

How do you dry wet letters?
Microwave the paper for about 15 seconds to evaporate some of the water. Afterwards, press the paper flat with a heavy item to get rid of wrinkles.

Will baseball cards ever be valuable again?
Unfortunately, they won’t likely be worth much (unless you’ve got some very specific sets like 1986-87 Fleer Basketball). For the most part, the collections people have from the ’80s and ’90s are not strong because those cards were over-produced. There was too much supply and not enough demand.

How long does it take for a baseball card to dry?
Let the card sit outside in the sun for about an hour. Check on it about every 15 minutes to see if it has dried. If not, wait another 15 minutes and check again. Normally it will take about one hour for a card to dry. After the card dries, it should look as good as new.
How do you repair a wet baseball card?
Determine where the flaws are on the card. If there are bent edges or dampness, go to step two. If the card is ripped, go to step three. To repair a wet baseball card with bent edges or mold, lay a piece of cardboard outside where sunlight is shining on it. Place the baseball card on the cardboard.
What’s the best way to store baseball cards?

What to do if a baseball card is torn?
Evaluate the Baseball Card. If your card is ripped or torn, get a roll of scotch tape. Tape from the back of the card, where the player’s statistics are, across the rip to seal it back to normal. Use one piece of scotch tape for every rip or tear that is on the card. Once done taping, your card should be in one piece again.
