I would put a clear piece of laminate on the rear and piece it together.

Well to start with I sure as hell wouldnt laminate it...... thats permanent! Maybe a tiny bit of Elmers or a piece of clear tape on the back only? Its a shame that happened in transit. At least it didnt get the autographed part!

PLEASE do not laminate it.

In college I worked in a library restoring damaged books when needed. Some of considerable value and age. I would never use materials that were permanent additions unless absolutely necessary.

This is what you need, just add to the back and find a nice clean snap case -

I think I would seek out a custom card maker and have them preserve the auto via a custom card.

Line both parts expertly in a Card Saver sleeve, as I did for my Goudey Ruth, scan it, and call it a day (you might stick in the flip in there as well at the top).

I would try using Demco paper adhesive and see if that holds it together. Other options could be P-Tape or Japanese paper. Here are a few tutorials on how to use them.

When I opened this thread, my first thought was "holy crap, that sucker got destroyed!". No joke, my second thought was send it to Brian bc its a card/condition he would love (and then you post your Goudey Ruth).

Thanks Ryan and Jeff...the Ruth is definitely a fun one to show off. I don't think I would be so happy if I knew it got damaged in shipping to me. That would just make me sad. But someone long ago tearing out big chunks and separating it into two makes me smile.

Sorry to hear this happened. Would have a real issue with the person that packed/shipped it. But in the end nothing you can do

I would do something like this. Love the Ruth and how it lines up

I wouldn’t do anything beyond a penny sleeve to hold the 2 pieces together and insert into a top loader sealed with a team bag. It’ll look ok once everything is coaxed into place.

I think this one is on the carrier, not the shipper

Sadly, it's pretty much ruined as an intact item and you're correct that cost outweighs value for professional restoration.

Another option would be to buy an unsigned 52T Mize of similar condition. Then, make a clean vertical cut close to the tear and place the signed portion on top of the unsigned card. I'd personally leave the two cards loose/unattached in any way and just display stacked atop each other. It would provide the easiest and nicest aesthetic. It looks like the cost for another card would pretty much equal the price of a roll of the archival tape people are recommending, so perhaps consider which of the two options appeals most to you.

With the way the card has ripped, it looks pretty much done for to me. Any amateur attempts at putting the pieces back together again will turn out to be a messy endeavor IMHO. It will look amateurish and Frankensteinian, if that's even a word.

A third option may come along via this board. Someone reading might have more experience with this sort of thing and may offer to assist in the reconstruction. Considering this card didn't break the bank (and I'm trusting you were refunded for it, anyway), this may be worth trying. If you're unhappy with the results, you could always go with my first suggestion afterward.
