Card stuck in screw-down holder. Advice needed.
Hello All.
I've owned a 1950 Drakes (VG-EX condition IMO) Gil Hodges for about 35 years. It has been stored in a screw-down holder for about 25 years. I recently decided to have it graded, so I removed all the screws from the holder. The back of the holder came off easily enough, but the front of the holder appears to be stuck to the card. I don't want to pull or force the card off for fear of damaging the card. Can anyone offer any advice on how to do this?

Try putting it in the freezer for a short time inside a baggie. I've seen this technique discussed someplace before.

Okay. I will try putting it in a Ziploc bag and into the freezer, but what is a "short time"?

If you want anything more than Authentic - Altered, go with a different company than PSA. They have the Altered Stock designation that this will most likely get as pressed inside a holder. Since the pressing could have been done to remove or hide wrinkles/creases, PSA normally returns this kind of damage ungraded unless you write *MIN GRADE AUTHENTIC/ALTERED* on your submission form.

the opposite
I would go for the opposite solution. Try a hair dryer, a little bit at a time. Just enough to warm up the card and the plastic. Don't get the dryer too close to the card.
Good luck.

You may be able to avoid the A designation by keeping the card in a humid environment for a week or two before sending it off (basement/bathroom.) Since cardboard is porous the indirect moisture should fatten the card up a bit without soaking it...

Want to give this thread a Shout-out.
Got this '53 Northland Bread label (Thanks Mac!) Ran my hair dryer on the back of the screwdown and it popped right off in 30 seconds or so!
