Removing Golden Press Cards from Book

Galveston

Just bought a 1961 Golden Press book with the cards in tact. The front cover cards are probably not gradeable but the interior cards looks immaculate. What is the best way to remove them for grading? Anything to watch out for?

you may want to search this forum for this topic. it was discussed less than a month ago.

congratulations on a nice pickup. in a way i regret cutting mine out. i ended up keeping 4 8's from my submission. i hated to part with a ruth for what the 8s were bringing.

I agree- I have 2 books and was going to send them off to a friend to separate, but for what they are selling for I"m better off keeping them intact. Take a look at realized prices, I think you'll agree, especially since your front cover ones (that are a lot more condition sensitive) sound ungradeable.

Hi,

I have removed cards from several books, and I can tell you there is a steep learning curve.

In your case, if the front cards are not immaculate, I would leave the book intact.

I think I would rather put together a graded set than keep the book in tact. But what is an intact book worth?

around $200+/-

Following up....
I followed the advice on how to remove the cards from my 1961 Golden Press book and sent them to PSA.
Here's the grades, might need some help in making the link live....
