<p>[QUOTE="ikandiggit, post: 967282, member: 16269"]I've read a few links and there are two different schools of thought. One is "never clean" and the other says that erasing pencil marks, glue, old tape and grime is acceptable and would probably increase the grade and value. However, there isn't any evidence that this has been the case (no examples were given), so I think it would be safer just to leave the note as found. If it is an extremely rare not, then I would consult with a professional conservator.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
