Service provider for separating cards from paper?

[cvitech2]

Is there a service provider that could pull cards from paper? probably in the 100-150 card range.

Just put the cards in water to soak yourself?

.. could you please tell us , or better yet , show us all , a scan or picture of the ''cards'' and the ''paper'' you're going to be dealing with----it's possible we on here could save you from a very expensive mistake....plus we enjoy looking at recent discoveries just as they were found...thanks for your time.

Be careful with whom you choose, I recently saw cards removed by someone that was supposedly a paper conservator that did not end well for the the cards. Apparently they tried to loosen them by dampening the paper and not fully soaking them, resulting in paper pulls and residue.

Soaking cards is not rocket science, there are multiple threads on the subject. Do a search and you will see the before and afters.

What is your guys consensus on Dick Towle?

Not needed for ordinary soaking.

This piece could be left intact and be appreciated for what it is.

very cool piece...much cooler than the sum of its parts! Is that a ruth card middlish right? What issue? Anyone?

Dang, if those cards were whole that would be quite a find.

I built it from the collection on the 16x20, I have plenty of the "felt paper pieces" with cards glued. I need to remove some of the better items and incorporate some of the other stuff.
