Peter_SpaethJohn, I would guess that any card that was handled enough to have been stuck in a scrapbook with glue or whatever substance would no longer have been NM/NT anyway even aside from the glue. I could very well be wrong on that, but my guess is the cards that have genuinely survived in that condition were more or less unhandled or stored in some other way. How's that for fighting the hypothetical? But that said, if a pristine or nearly pristine card was glued into a scrapbook, and retained its NM MT qualities otherwise, and you could get it out of the scrapbook and get the glue off just with water and leave the surface just as it was before, then I don't think that would trouble me really.
