Try to resist the temptation of forcing/pulling. After 30 minutes you should have an indication of how well this will work. If things went well, the cards should have come apart on their own. After they are out of the water, place between a few layers of paper towels and put inside the cover of a heavy book. Stick some weight on it and wait 24 hours to dry.

Thank you for the reply. Stupid question- will the cards have water damage? Will SGC slab them as Authentic-Altered?
