    Ugh, I hate when that happens! And centering is pretty nice on them, too.

    If the packs are nice and clean, the gum will usually detach easily with little or no effect on the card.

    << <i>I tried detaching one common with gum. It left a nice trail on the card that could not be cleaned.
    I basically tried to see how tight the gum was to the gum cards, and most of the gum cards were tight. >>



    Try placing the cards in a freezer overnight. That will sometimes help to detach the gum with minimal damage to the card.

    Anyone ever try to sub the card as is with the gum still sticking to it? image

    Not even mine and that stings a bit. Good luck with freezer. I've had some luck there, so best wishes.

    Also had some success slipping a crisp modern common between the gum and card and popping the gum off.

    Fingers crossed.

    52-90 All Sports, Mostly Topps, Mostly HOF, and some assorted wax.

    Fabric softener or fabric softener sheets? Either way...wouldn't that leave a residue or stain easily catchable by PSA as altered?
