Hey guys,

I need a little bit of advice. I posed the question to Leon, but he suggested that I also ask the group.

I received a few cards in the mail today that were once taped / glued into an album, and since removed (prior to me receiving them). There is already some paper loss on the back, and the cards still have a sticky residue on the back (whether is it tape residue, or glue residue, is unknown to me. But, the fact remains that the cards are a bit sticky. I would like to have them graded eventually, but for now, I would like to ask the best way to remove the "stickiness" from the back of the card. Anyone have any advice? Thanks. Alan
