Re: Game used jersey GLUED to frame - how do I save this?

I wish these "professional framers" would stop destroying jerseys because they simply don't know what they're doing. I have seen it all from holes in the jerseys to glue to jerseys actually being cut into pieces in order to frame.

If you are worried about the paper, it will dissolve in water leaving just the glue. The you can try the paper bad and iron trick that xxx mentioned.

I think I'm going to try the iron trick this weekend, just so I don't have to get the jersey wet.

I'm stunned that someone would frame it that way anyway, but I know, too, people are dumber now than they were 20 years ago so anything's possible!

THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS FORUM! Without as many knowledgable people as there are on here, I'd have been SOL most likely. Thanks a TON to everyone who offered suggestions and I'll definitely post pics of the jersey once "saved"!

Sadly, alot of jerseys go to people who are not collectors. It could have been given to someone who was more into decorations than collecting.

If someone wins a shirt of their back jerseys and is not a collector, I could see the same fate even to this day.

I would try a hair dryer to warm it up and maybe it will peel off, like taking off the glue on the back of a patch...
