You can run the card again in the laminate machine using low heat setting. Once the card is out from the machine and still warm, cut open the edge and take the card out this way. I have tried this method before to remove a Jordan RC from lamination. Hope this help.

Laminate often binds to the paper fibers if under enough heat. If this occurs, you may ruin the card in your attempt to free it. I say let sleeping dogs lie. Congrats on the pickup!

Tim,
Looking at it next to other legit examples, the stamp is the right size. It has the right amount of space between letters and between the the old put phrase and the bottom phrase. Looks good to me. And it's definitely orange. Red E98s wouldn't fade to a deep orange color. Nice find!! Exciting stuff. This is why it's so hard to put theories together concerning these old cards. Something always comes out of the woodwork. Rob

Neat Discovery
Everyone,
Thanks for the compliments on this new discovery for Old Put E98s. I won it off the bay a few weeks ago. Pete C. was bidding against me and was kind enough to let it go and not bid me up too high. (Thanks Pete!, I really didn't know who I was bidding against until I talked with him a few days later) I told Pete on the phone that I wasn't 100% sure if it was even real and that I wouldn't know until it was in my hands. I'm not much of a gambler, but I decided to take a chance. As Leon mentioned, it is hard to be sure if something is real until you get it in your hands. Once I touched it, and put it up to other E98s and the four other Old Put Backs I own, I'm convinced it's the real deal. As Rob mentioned, it's definately an Orange, not a faded or discolored red. The stamp matches exactly with other authentic ones - color- font size (Though I don't have a loupe to look at it with.) I think I am just going to leave it laminated. There are no bubbles or weak spots of the laminate and I'm definately not that big of a gambler! I just hope that SGC will grade it. Not that I need a TPG to be the above everyone else judge on authenticity, I think most of us can judge the authenticity of raw cards on our own, it's just that my entire Master Set is in SGC holders and I would like this one to go with them. Like others have mentioned, the most exciting thing about our hobby is when new things come up! I even have a type that Leon- The King of Types- doesn't have!  Tim

Old Put
Alex,
"Old Put" was the nickname given to a Revolutionary War hero by the name of Isreal Putnam. His heroics and unwillingness to retreat led to his nickname. There is a railroad line between New York and Maryland, I believe?, that is named The Old Put line. I'm assuming that this railway line was named after Putnam. The stamp is for advertisement for a 5 Cent Cigar named OLD PUT. I know I , and I'm sure others, have looked for years to find information, advertisements, or boxes/wrappers of OLD PUT cigars without an success. The greatest mystery is were these just E98s with a cigar stamp advertising cigars or were they included with the cigars which would make them a cigar card??? This debate has raged for years, just like who even made E98s! If any one has every seen anything about Old Put cigars, please post it on the board. Thanks, Tim
