The card dieties and slab worshippers will curse you. How dare you tamper with a card!!!!
What you need is a non-polar solvent. Carbon tet was bad for everything on the planet, but good for this. Lighter fluid almost works, problem is that a slight odor and ever so slight residue remains. A stamp collecting watermark fluid might work. Some electrical component cleaners would work... high evaporation rate, bad for the environment, good for this. Test a bit on typing paper to make sure you'll have no residue.
I suggest putting a bit on a Q-tip and with a GENTLE motion, try to work up the edges, and add more fluid. Patience helps. Once the plastic film is off and the adhesive remains, use fluid, then blot, then fluid, a little rub, then blot. You might put a piece of tape on a "new" card and make an attempt at removing it, to get some experience.
Obviously, you must then keep the card forever, and have the card burned when you reach your deathbed. If you don't, it will be card-tamperer-hades for you for sure, if the card falls into the hands of another.
And it is my experience that Obaks survive an overnight soak in a glass of water just fine, as well as T206s...
Good luck with it all, and patience.
