Those cards are tuff to seperate. I would try using some heat. Put them on top of a radiater? I had that happen to me with some tiffanys.

I just have my collection manager do it. He is out of town until Tuesday though because he went to collect on some cards for me. I use a hammer, he uses a cigar cutter....

Try putting them in the toaster for 10 seconds.

When I get cards that are stuck together, I just kinda gently bend 'em back-and-forth, sort of like you're fanning a deck of cards. That will usually cause the cards to break apart from each other.

Wow, if that works it’s huge. Thanks for the suggestion.

Windex can contain solvents. NEVER use solvents unless you are prepared to damage the surface of the card.
