I was wondering what kind of damage tape does to notes especially once already preserved/graded. You will see many notes with tape repairs have large brown patches wherever the tape was but what about when notes were freshly taped and then submitted and graded in a third party holder? Will the tape continue to eat away at the paper? Will it eventually eat away a hole? Obviously if that is the case the assigned grade would become obsolete. Whenever purchasing notes that are graded it is important to buy the note, not holder but I am curious if the tape will continue to damage the note.
I agree with Sky...avoid taped notes to begin with. I'd give Nancy a call and get her recommendations regarding the tape. http://www.polirestoration.com/
I understand that staying away from these notes is highly advised however I'm curious if staining from the tape will turn into full blown degradation after a prolonged period regardless of its method of preservation.
I think that there is good tape and bad tape. Most of it would be bad but I suspect that there is archival quality tape. I am sure that the experts will know more.
