Not Mine Sahara Card Room fracs @ Spinetti's (1 Viewer)

[AWenger]

Please show me the finished product! I will probably be kicking myself in the butt. I really wanted these for my mixed set but I really did not want to mess with them.

Please post pics of the Saharas when you get them cleaned!

These were really dry, chalky look. Absolutely had to oil them after. Pics show difference between dirty, cleaned & oiled. The 50c do not recover as well as the 25c and $1. The stamps on the 50c are very faded and get lost into its color. A few of each denom had a stain that just wouldn't come out, as you'll see when they're stacked.

@David O and @dajebriza I just posted some pics of the Sahara fracs I received. They're in similar shape to the what @GenghisKhan described above. Hope mine come out looking as nice as his did after cleaning!

I haven't started the cleaning process yet. I'm going to start with some dish detergent and warm/hot water, and not Oxi or TSP, because of the hotstamps.

I was expecting the chips to be a little more warped - they are not too bad. There are a few stacks that get a little wobbly stacked 20 high, so I may pick out the 20 or 40 so worst warped ones and flatten them.
