How to Get Baseball Cards Unstuck

Use your nail to scrap off any debris from the outside of the cards.

Rub the file with a wipe to wet it.

Slowly slide the nail file in between the stuck cards. You also can use dental floss by tightly holding it and sliding between the cards.

Separate the cards. Wipe them clean with a wipe. Scrape away any debris with your nail or the file.

Clean the cards with a wet wipe. Do not soak the cards.

Lay the cards out on a flat surface to dry completely. Putting wet cards together only causes sticking.

Check the edges of the cards for tearing and splitting. Fix small splits by applying a thin layer of super glue to the inside of the split.

Decide how you want to store your cards to protect them from damage.

If you use multiple card sleeves, put one card in each sleeve. Put the sleeves in a binder. The binder keeps the cards together and prevents light damage.

Store the binder upright in a safe area. If the binder is laid flat, cards can spill out.

Put each card in its own soft-sleeve. A soft-sleeve is made from clear plastic and protects the card from damage.

Plastic screw-down cases are much thicker than sleeves. These types of cases usually are used for more valuable cards. These cases may need to be replaced if cracked or scratched.

Combine the protection of soft-sleeves with top-loaders. Put the card in a soft sleeve and then inside a top-loader. Top-loaders are a little sturdier than the soft sleeve.
