i doubt the OP would've bought the lot if he saw the n54 f/s thread, and probably wouldn't have sent in to DT to try his chemical sorcery.

Sorry about this Scott. All I can offer is my condolences and a drink of your choice.

As an aside, glue back in that era was either water-soluble or not, but even the water-soluble stuff is sometimes so difficult to remove that it isn't worth it (perhaps there was something more than water in some mixtures).

But the non-water soluble glue is impossible - I've never seen cards come off cleanly when removed by collectors. Kudos to Scott for his innovative attempts - I'm guessing one of his remote ancestors collected the data to teach us about various poisonous plants, having fortunately reproduced earlier.

Thanks, glad someone got it !!! *

Really posted out of frustration and need for pity. And I thank all for condolences. Especially Mr. Moses: I have read many of his posts on the non-sport side, and find his writing style so insightful, innovated, and unique, it verges on an art form.

To all who have contacted me about cards, still do not know what I am going to do with them. I believe I have replied to all, if not I apologize.

* Surprised no one bit on the Vroom building comment. I doubt it's still there, but it used to be a locked wing for the criminally insane.

Sorry. I myself have had a lot of things not work out in the card world and outside.
As time goes on, easier to forget.
