My autograph question for those board experts -- lamination

[BrandonG]

It depends on what type of laminate was used. There are some laminates that are heat activated and some cool activated. The cool activated laminates are sticky and will adhere to anything that it touches and would be impossible to remove. Some heat activated laminate only sticks to the opposite laminate itself, so in other words the paper is sandwiched between the plastic and sealed in but not necessarily stuck to the plastic laminate, it could be removed if the "sealed" area was cut to expose an opening which could be pulled open to remove the contents. But on something like Richards postcard, there's no way I'd chance it.
