Do you mean the whole card or part of ?
If it is the whole of one side then the easiest and best option would be to just purchase a deck of blank facers/backers. If you are only wanting to remove part of the face or back (from bicycle cards) then try a good quality soft rubber.
The problem with nail polish remover and wotnot is the smell will probably linger on the card

Nail varnish remover on a cotton wool ball or for more intricated/delicate removing, an ear bud. Bud

It certainly would if it was a signature, but I think he means the actual printing on the card

Made up Monte Cristo deck using just an ink rubber (or "eraser", perhaps
). Bit stronger than an ordinary pencil rubber and takes less time. Think Andy Nyman suggests fine steel wool (?) in GET NYMAN DVD but I found that leaves "scarring" of sorts
