#scrapbooking

I’ve been trying to preserve a faded label from my original Super Mario Bros. cartridge to include in a retro gaming themed scrapbook. Baking soda and q-tip didn’t help, and rubbing alcohol made the ink smudge. Any ideas how to lift the faded text without ruining the paper? Specific product recommendations or techniques would be great. I’ve seen some game labels look almost new when restored—what did folks try back in the early 2000s?
