Rolando -

How do I get my hands on a few more 1951 Denia basketball cards? Great set!

Jamie, thank you very much for the information about the Negro League cards. When asked about the Denia Basketball cards, I have never seen them.

Wanted to share this as I recently picked this up (thanks Ryan C). 1946-47 Sensacion Premium, pretty large 7 3/4 by 11 3/4 . Only saw one sold before on Hakes that was graded, but that was trimmed down.

Just love anything Dihigo. Based on what I found online they were part of a set of 27 from a periodical.

Thanks, Roland. That was not listed in the catalog I own nice to get more information.

Cárdenas 1889
 

Jamie, you have explained to me that you have Volume 1 of my catalogues, which deals with card collections from 1909 to 1957, but they are all in small format, in volume 2 the different collections appear in larger format, for example post cards, and many more, volume 2 is much more extensive than volume 1, that's why you didn't know that 1947 collection, now I show a photo of the Cárdenas team of the Cuban championship in 1889.

Does anyone have an opinion on removing 1945-46 Deportivo cards from an album?

Will soaking them completely destroy the cards?

I had one user suggest soaking them. But, the set seems pretty fragile. So, I'm hesitant to try without confirmation from other people.


Is there any preferred method to test solubility of the glue first, without fully submerging?

Prof
 

I have done it for 39 years to peel off album cards to thousands of Cuban cards, I prepare a container with water at normal temperature and I introduce some parts of the leaves and wait for them to detach by themselves, those that detach I take them out immediately and put them to dry at the top of a cloth or towel that absorbs moisture, when they are completely dry I insert them between the pages of a book, when you are all inside the book I put something heavy on top of the book, so that the cards are ironed, the next day I take out the different sheets and organize them according to the case, some cards take longer than others to take off due to the type of glue and quantity that was used, there are several methods that I have used depending on the quality of the card, the previous explanation is for the album Felices, but for the albums of Cigarros Aguilitas, Nacionales, Punch etc, other methods are used.

Thanks for weighing in on my question, and for detailing your method. That matches what I've read elsewhere. It makes me feel more comfortable trying.

I may attempt it in the near future.
