fkw 150 cards works out to be almost $18 per card. Break it down to $250 for Cobb, $25 ea. for the other 7 HOFers, you still have roughly $16 for ea. common. It brought what its worth. I really dont see a break up value much more than that. With that said the yellow border (T210 Thebo) card is the key and the best thing on the piece, and might bring a few hundred if not more if it is not too bad of shape.
Over the years Ive always had good luck removing cards from Victorian Scrapbooks, so cant say from experience about how it would feel to lose a nice card. It would make me think twice about going too far.
90% of the cards I have dealt with were 1880 Victorian trade cards, N cards (N28, N2, N570), and 1888 Scrapps/R&S diecuts (Ive removed or cleaned up the backs of about 2 dozen of these diecuts alone). But Ive tried it with only about a dozen 1910 era cards.
I always love it when I find out the glue is just a flour and water paste.
