One thing I've done is to wet the paper of the page from the back and gradually rub the paper off the glue in layers so the item I'm removing doesn't get much water on it at all.

Interesting about the backs and fronts separating. I know this comment is not related to baseball cards but she has 1921-1923 E 123 actor and actress cards where the backs had separated off of the fronts and we didn't quite know why. This would explain that mystery


Below are the lot of exhibit players from the Esco 4 in one postcards. The backs have what appear to be old news clipping and scrapbook page residue just like the W572 cards I recently bought.
