Zeev,
 
I would think removing the sticky surface could be potentially very damaging to the card.
 
I have been told that *nothing* sticks to Mylar and so far I've found that to be true. I don't know if your sticky lobby cards would, but giving Mylar sleeves a try is probably worth a shot in their case. I've seen Mylar lobby card sleeves available in the 3-ring binder style for a reasonable price at www.bagsunlimited.com

HI everybody.
 
I have a question for you.  I keep a large portion of my LCs collection in those 3-ring binders that were (still are?) sold by Larry Reed from NC, that come together with thick plastic(not sure what the material is) pockets/pages, and you can buy just additional pages alone, to add to your binder.  Actually, that's the main reason I like them.  It allows you to add a card somewhere in the middle, if you're really anal about a certain order (chronologigal) as I am.
 
Here's my question:  Are you familiar with those Warner Bros LCs from the 30's, that come in either the linen-style paper, and in the "flat" brittle paper?  Well, the latter has SOMETIMES a semi-sticky coating of varnish or something.  One of my cards, a Bogart from the 1937 Black Legion, got stuck to the pocket and when I removed it some of the surface ink was left behind in the pocket.  The card is obviously damaged.  I removed the sticky surface with a cotton ball and lighter fluid but that's after the fact.  Another one of my cards, 1937 San Quentin, also Bogart, is of similar paper and similar finish.  It was however not that sticky, and was not damaged when I removed it.  Now I'm afraid to put it back in the pocket.  Should I remove the sticky surface?
 
I did'nt experience this problem with any other type of card.
 
What's your experience with those cards?
 
Best, Zeev
