Forgive me if this has already been covered, but I doubt there's a wholesale way to eliminate the entire back from all of the cards all at once without a host of problems, so the first step for me would be to methodically use a pair of sharp scissors and an X-Acto knife to slowly cut away each card (with cardboard backing still attached) from the whole. It looks like the edges of the cards that overlap could be lifted slightly to allow a slicing underneath. Once all of the cards become individuals pieces, you will find the next step of soaking and whatnot much more easy to accomplish.

They will by far be able to do the best job of removing and cleaning them up to a much better quality.

Get an Exacto knife and cut the cardboard that is attached to that T205 Frank Corridon card. Rinse that card / corrugated cardboard bad boy off under a tap, GENTLY, then place it in a water glass. Add water, 2/3rds of the way full. Set it in a safe place, and then check on it in an hour or two.

My thinking is that the card will be loose from the corrugated cardboard, and the water will have a tinge to it because that corrugated cardboard is nasty stuff. So rinse the card, remove that corrugated cardboard, change to clean water, and soak again.

Then... if that works, which I think it will, then [new collectors quit reading now] run some water in a clean bathtub, 2" to 3" or so, then put the whole thing in the tub, and soak as above.

If there are reprints on there the new cards may not be attached with flour paste; but the old cards may well be. Corrugated cardboard is about 150 years old... it ante-dates the cards.

It's an odd assortment, of the 86 genuine T206's only 2 are 150/350 subjects the rest are 350 and 350/460 subjects.

The bottom 2 rows look like sections that came out of a book or magazine but it's hard to tell from your pictures.

How can you determine that without actually seeing the backs?

Hi Howard, you don't need to see the backs to know what print group each subject is in, Herzog (New York) and Sheckard (no glove) are the only print group 1 (150/350) subjects in the group of 86 genuine T206's.

Here's the breakdown of the print groups in the collage

Print group 1 (150/350) = 2
Print group 2 (350) only = 51
Print group 3 (350-460) = 24
Print group 4 (460 only) = 4
Print group 5 (super prints) = 5
