Hi guys, I have a question. I purchased a collection and in it, I found an Entomb from Odyssey. I was quite elated, until today. I was looking closer at the card and noticed it seemed a bit thick. Turns out there were 2 cards stuck together by some white substance. I don't think either card was damaged, but, they are very rough and need to be cleaned. Has anyone ever had something sticky on magic cards, and if so, how did u clean them? For a $25, it's worth it to see. thanx Dan

Just take a q-tip, wet the end of it, and clean away. Water won't go through the face of a magic card if you dry it off quickly after cleaning it. Just make sure not to get too close to the edges, because water WILL seep into the edges of the card thus damaging it.I've cleaned hundreds of cards with this method and never had any issues.

I just use windex or something similar and a paper towel. Just don't let it get too wet for too long or it will fray the edges and such.
