Post Your Type 1 / Type 2 / Wire Photos / Etc

[UKCardGuy]

I picked up a binder of wire photos from 1938 a while ago. It's taken a long time but they've finally arrived. It looks like the person who assembled the photos was a Cubs fan and the wire photos range from the NL Championship through to the World Series that year.

The first photo here is of Gehrig welcoming Di Magio after a home run in the 9th Inning of Game 2.

The major downside of the collection is that the photos have all been laminated.

Is it the laminate a person can remove, or the sticky laminate?

It's the sticky laminate, unfortunately. On one of the pages the laminate had bubbled and was a little loose. I used that to see if there was a way to pull the laminate off. I don't think it can be. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has experience with that sort of thing.
