Hi All,

I recently purchased a lot of antique photographs. There was a scrapbook in the bottom of the box with 1939 linen(?) postcards glued inside.

Now the operative word is GLUE. A lot of glue was used and they are stuck hard!

The amazing thing is that the cards look great otherwise.

Is there any way to remove the cards from the newsprint scrapbook without them being ruined?

Thanks for any help you are able to give

Monifa,

Trying to remove old glued postcards like this is probably just an accident waiting to happen. Even if you could remove the cards, they'd probably be left with residue on the back and couldn't be sold as mint. Your best bet might be to just sell the whole scrapbook, as-is. You could probably get over $50.00 for it. Take lots of pictures of the pages, give detailed descriptions (including that they're all glued on) and let your bidders determine the price. Good luck!

Yes, removing them might tear them. Do like eauctionmgnt says, sell the whole book.
