I remember when a collector asked what was the best method to remove the baseball photo from cardboard it was stuck to. I told him what he had was called a cabinet card, and the two should stay together.

In an attempt to get money for bail, boxer Jake Lamotta famously took a hammer and knocked the jewels off his championship belt, only to be informed by the jeweler that the financial value was in the intact belt (Lamotta didn't meet bail).
