BFTD Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I should probably have said that they're all dry now, but still stuck. I don't think it helped that they were jammed in like sardines, so the pressure of decades will have taken their toll too. Lots of cards of footballers that I've never heard of. Might scan some salvageable ones so @Granny Dangercan take a trip down memory lane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem is that it's obviously been stored somewhere very damp for a long time, as the tin was so rusty that it fell apart in my hands, and a lot of the cards are solidly stuck together in clumps. Naturally, they're delicate considering their age, so does anyone have any suggestions about how to separate them with the minimum of damage? Thought about steaming them apart, but I've seen sticking them in the freezer suggested... 1 hour ago, welshbairn said: Experiment with a small bundle in the microwave, 10 secs at a time. Curiously that random suggestion of mine might not be totally daft, but maybe your cards could be from the wrong century. Worth a go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should contact Gilbert Ratchet from Viz who should be able to knock you together a fag-card-separater-ometer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endieinreekie Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Can anyone recommend any decent car dealerships in the Edinburgh West Lothian area? I'm looking for somewhere that won't rip me off and that preferably isn't Arnold Clark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Long shot, but does anyone know when the dragon statue in Dundee was erected? Also, I'm not sure if it's a pisstake, but originally when built, there was a wee button under its chin that made the dragon produce a small flame to light your cigarette. Surely that's shite? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also had fairly good service from MRL in Broxburn? Possibly..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
