prevent rebricking?
 

Hey all,
Just looking for tips on how to keep cards that were bricked from rebricking in storage now that they are separated. Any advice or help is much appreciated, TIA.

Penny sleeves for each card? I know that could get time consuming depending on how many cards you have, but it should do the trick.

haha yeah kinda had the feeling this would be one of the answers, thank you

Penny sleeves, you can buy 10k cases for $60-$70 on eBay

Baby powder those bad boys and they won't stick. Will wipe right off as well (also will allow you to apply signatures to chrome/glossy cards but thats another thing)

Once cards get bricked, nothing you can do. Opened a box of 2002 Bowman Draft last week for grins and half the cards had melted into each other. Anything with gloss from that era has generally bled into the cards next to it.

People will claim that temperature change will unbrick them, but the chemicals in the cards have already been corrupted over time.

No. I have had luck leaving Bricked cards outside in the summer heat and it helped but YMMV

Penny sleeve every [I]other [/I]card ;)

I’ve ran into that problem and I did what most of the people here recommend: penny sleeve all the cards.

Storing the cards upright as opposed to stacking them should prevent bricking. Also, don't have them squeezed together.

Yeah, the cards get fused together -- no way to reverse that. You could mitigate the damage caused by pealing them apart by heating them up.

Vasoline those bad boys right up.

Embrace the brick.

Step 1: brick cards
Step 2: build house out of said bricks
Step 3: sell house
Step 4: profit

put them in sheets and in binders

Flip through the box every 10 years.
