Can I use a Magic eraser to clean the edges or would that be a huge mistake? I rather not go out and buy a new duplicate deck if I don't have to.
This is a good tip because I was about to rub the whole thing down all at once. Gentle bath it is.I would think you'd have to clean the edges with the magic eraser in much the same way that you would ink the edges with an ink pad - one at a time, glancing the edges lightly and quickly over the damp eraser so that you only get the edge and you don't get bleed over onto the card fronts and backs. So 78 cards x 4 edges = 312 if my math hasn't failed me.
If you rub the whole deck over the eraser or the eraser over the whole deck, unless you've got the cards in a vice grip, there will be gaps that will allow bleed onto the fronts and backs.
