They're already damaged. Even if you could remove the laminate they're still damaged (as indicated by the part you pulled back).

I say leave them as they are and enjoy them. You won't be able to improve the value of them by removing the laminate so why bother?

+1 That would be my sentiment too. I enjoy looking at your scans. You can make a cucumber into a pickle but you can't change a pickle back into a cucumber, although many have tried.

This viewpoint is interesting. I'm wondering your reasoning in coming to this belief. If there is a way to remove the laminate without damaging the image of the card wouldn't this increase the value of the card? I would think that it would.

What are everyone's thoughts on the value of these cards if the laminate were left on? I know a card is only worth what somebody will pay for it, so please avoid that answer if you're able, I'm more interested in your personal opinions.

For example, a PSA7 of the Koufax sold a month ago on ebay for $300. In your opinion, what percent of that do you think this Koufax could fetch?

Default Lamination
Joe--I assumed they were just saying that if peeling off the lamination diminishes the appearance of the card further ( which your scan may seem to indicate) what would be the purpose ? If the lamination can be removed and the card appearance is not lessened then that would make total sense. But, in any event, they are your cards, have at them
