I have never had that problem with my cards (pre 80)....you may want to post over on the post 80 board so more people who collect from that era will see your post .

The story I hear on the Blowout forums is to put them in the freezer; that is supposed to break them apart without tearing apart the foil.

I think the UV is the issue when pressed together tightly and add a little heat and/or moisture. I have flexed small stacks until they naturally start to separate in the past, but not sure I'd got through the effort these days unless there was something real special in the cards.

The freezer is the way to go. I'd leave them over night and they should "Pop" apart in the morning.

ive had stacks of 1993 leaf, and some ultra ruined because of this, sucks

a local dealer here purchased a huge collection of complete sealed insert sets of 90s. we found the easiest way was to freeze and peel off one at a time. literally peel each card individually to keep foil from peeling
