It's been a long time since I've done it (maybe 15-20 years), but I've soaked several German Olympic Card Albums from that era, and it usually didn't take much more then a bathtub and warm water to get them out. Sometimes they'll just detach themselves and float away from the paper they are stuck to.
I doubt you'll get a 7 or 8 that way. A lot of these were floating around in their original packets and never got stuck in the albums.
If you are keeping it for yourself and not for resale, I would just keep them in the book. They are very nice display items on their own.
