If you're like me, then you'll probably cringe at my attempt at cleaning this old-school Exodia the Forbidden One card. What was I trying to accomplish here?
1. Is it possible to clean this way without leaving noticeable marks at a high level of magnification? In my opinion, it was.
2. Can simply using water and special cue-tips at high magnification have a noticeable effect on the aesthetic of my card? Yes.

Please understand this is a HP Unlimited Yugioh card that has reached its final home in my personal binder. It has been my first and only attempt at cleaning a card (but may not be my last). What did you think?
