@SpreadsheetSnorlax asks
found a stack held together with a rubber band. What's the safest way to deal with that?
Jeff answers
I'd support the stack and remove the band carefully without dragging it over the edges or snapping it against the cards. Inspect for pressure marks afterward. Then sort into appropriate sleeves and storage. The band did its organizing job; it doesn't need to keep doing the protecting job.
