Default LAMINATED AUTOGRAPHED GOV. from early 1940,s;WHAT IF ANY VALUE?

Curious if there would be any value for govn. postcards of names such as foxx,ott, and other noteworthy stars that have been laminated..I can,t imagine anyone doing this.I have heard of someone laminating a picture which is crazy in itself.I,m guessing that they might have a value of perhaps 20-25% at the most.Just wondering if anyone has an opinion. Thanks

As a rule of thumb, as a dealer, I never buy laminated items.
If you are very lucky you might find someone to buy them at 15-20% of the market value for unlaminated pieces, but the trick is to find someone who will buy them.
I don't know anyone who will buy them.

probably not if richard says you can't even find people to buy at 15-20% of actual value.

I have asked a few people and as far as I know you cannot un-laminate a piece.

Most collectors would rather spend the going rate on a piece not laminated.

The exceptions being an extremely rare autograph or a popular expensive autograph like Ruth that someone might pay a lesser amount so they can own one, if the going rate of 2500 or 3000 would have been way out of their price range. They can grab an affordable (laminated) one for 500 bucks and have a Ruth in their collection when they otherwise would have not been able to afford one.
