This was a great vid, Jon. One of your best ever. Love the skits. Has anyone ever tried smoke?? Like from a handheld smoke gun? Stick the cards in a ziplock bag and smoke the crap outta them. I think it has potential. I feel like cards absorb smoke very well. I've bought plenty of cards over the years that stank of cigarettes.

What about multiple methods applied? Start with rice to clear moisture, remove any immediately lose cards, then apply freezing, remove lose cards, then end with one of the heating measures? In like a year you'll have a fully recover box of cards. hahaha

Sadly there will never be a cure to bricking. Over time the UV coating "liquifies" on a molecular level and hardens to become part of each other.

Iv been doing experiments and have found that steam is the best way to get them unstuck and minimized damage. I would set a large pot on the stove and get the water boiling. Then I would lay a grated cookie cooling rack over the top of the pot. Put a few opened packs of bricked cards on the rack and let them steam for a few minutes. Check each one frequently and only pull off what falls off. Return to rack if the brick is still stuck after a few cards come off.
