... trying to peel apart a stack of bricked cards? I bought a box of 1994 Press Pass Racing just for the heck of it. I saw 'UV coating' on the box and knew I was probably in for trouble. Yep. There's little value in this box, so I'm not too concerned, but that sound. Oh man, that sound. What have you got for solutions to (safely) de-brick cards?

Safely? eh IDK, I just try to take smaller stacks and flex the entire thing. Then smack the stack on the table. Some cards get damaged, but oh well. ------------------------------- TCDB Collection Leaderboard spots: #1 Alexei Zhamnov #1 Shane Doan #1 Phoenix Coyotes #1 Arizona Coyotes

It's more about the damage to the card surface. It leaves scratches or moisture dots that are permanent. I can usually get them apart without too much "damage", but the spots are always there no matter what. It definitely is disappointing.

I saw a video on YouTube of someone microwaving the cards for 6 seconds.
