Default 1949 Bowman Set with Tape - Opinions Please

For several years I have had a partial 49 Bowman set, about 180 of the 252, and would like opinions on the set. Here's the problem, all the cards have tape across the front where I assume at one time had been taped in an album, etc. This is the hardest tape I have ever encountered on a card. A couple of years ago I tried every trick known to man to remove the tape, soaking, peeling, heating, etc. After ruining 5 or 6 of the cards I gave up. The cards are in decent shape (except for the tape) and it is only contained on the front. What would you do - leave them alone and enjoy? - try again to remove the tape? complete the set with cards not taped?

I appreciate your thoughts and recommendations. Pictures attached
