After 1992 or so, many of the cards that I have in old cardboard boxes are stuck together. Some sets are worse offenders than others. The shift from standard stock cardboard cards to those with a glossy veneer has proven to be a short-sighted decision. I don't have enough of the 80s Tiffany sets to see if the stickiness is an issue with them, although only the fronts of those are glosssy, not the backs, so I imagine there wouldn't be a problem with them.
I'll have to try the freezer trick with some of them to see if that will work. Has anyone else tried that or have a different method for unsticking the glossy 90s cards?
