Removing Historical Autograph Triple Folder Cards Caused Paperloss

[rockthree]

Not sure if anyone else has run into this, but I decided to remove my T205 / T206 cards from a HA triple folder and was shocked and disappointed to find that they were all held in place with tape.

Removing them caused paper-loss to every card. I've attached pictures.

I emailed HA about it, and referenced a forum post from an HA employee which said "We wanted to let you know the cards aren't permanently mounted with adhesive inside the triple folder, just completely encased for protection."

HA responded with "The forum post you sent states that the cards are not permanently attached, we did not glue them, tape was used."

Needless to say, that's a bunch of crap.

I understand that this was done once upon a time by collectors. But nowadays people know better and it's extremely sad that people are still ruining cards (and their value) by doing this.
