    I would leave it as is. There aren't many complete books left with everyone punching out the cards for singles.

    ETA: This set is more commonly known as the 1961 Golden Press.

    I agree to keep it whole, it looks in okay shape. If it was a mess I would have cut them out.

    It depends. Are you planning to resell them, or are you going to keep them?

    I purchased one of these a few weeks ago with a couple of cards missing. 15 are now on their way to Newport Beach. I purchased it for the purpose of starting a set (selling anything 9 and above). The set is very budget friendly at an 8 (imo).

    Good luck in your decision. I'll be looking for more books down the road.


    Thanks,

    My preference-leave it as is. Can't be that many left intact. You can always punch out cards later.

    I bought this partial booklet and removed the cards. Except for the Ott, which was already creased, each card came out looking fantastic.

    It wasn't difficult, just need to take your time. I cut the pages to individual size before attempting to remove.

    Is the book complete? I only count 21 cards, not 33.
  • Leave as would be my vote. Count be many of them.
