Take your worst condition card and try hot hot water first, these types of notebooks from old paper may come off just like that - the cards cardboard is much thicker.

keep it soaked until you see some other paper come off, make sure you have the back side - so you can use your hand or glove to remove some of the paper.

If this works with limited damage - try others, your still going to have some kind residue anyway you go.

I like to keep cards as is - and would keep them protected in a glass case - sometimes in cases like yours it's hard to judge for yourself.

Try trimming some of the paper first as well, just understand you could damage the cards more - practice with the really poor condition cards first

The other problem you have is the autos, I would leave them as is and just trim the paper and be very careful with the Goudey Premiums

Good luck!
