Thanks for your response. I am wary regarding paper conservators because I've seen some shoddy work in the past. Ironically, this past scrapbook that I bought had the baseball cards removed previously by a "paper expert", and sold separately (I did not buy these). All the baseball cards (specifically the N28's)exhibited 40-50% paper loss on the back. The N28's left in my scrapbook came out with only light glue staining and no paper loss, and were, in fact, some of the easier cards I removed from the scrapbook. I fear giving thousands of dollars in cards to a conservator who may come back with a bill and an "Oops!".
