Card repair advice

Line both parts expertly in a Card Saver sleeve, as I did for my Goudey Ruth, scan it, and call it a day (you might stick in the flip in there as well at the top).

I would try using Demco paper adhesive and see if that holds it together. Other options could be P-Tape or Japanese paper. Here are a few tutorials on how to use them.

After thinking about this a bit, I bet that when you carefully remove the damaged card from the broken holder, you will be surprised how well it "Puzzles" back together..... being careful to make sure the proper tear pieces go on top or under as you refit it. There will be a line but the card will look decent IMO with the autographed portion still in perfect shape. I would secure the reassembly somehow, maybe with a single piece of the aforementioned tape on the back (and if its truly invisible maybe one on the front and I said maybe on that last one. Good luck..... and by the way, I hope you get some compensation from the sender or the carrier for the damages.

When I opened this thread, my first thought was "holy crap, that sucker got destroyed!". No joke, my second thought was send it to Brian bc its a card/condition he would love (and then you post your Goudey Ruth).

Thanks Ryan and Jeff...the Ruth is definitely a fun one to show off. I don't think I would be so happy if I knew it got damaged in shipping to me. That would just make me sad. But someone long ago tearing out big chunks and separating it into two makes me smile.

Sorry to hear this happened. Would have a real issue with the person that packed/shipped it. But in the end nothing you can do

I would do something like this. Love the Ruth and how it lines up

I wouldn’t do anything beyond a penny sleeve to hold the 2 pieces together and insert into a top loader sealed with a team bag. It’ll look ok once everything is coaxed into place.

I think this one is on the carrier, not the shipper
