My whole collection of vintage concrete stamps got rained on...

I left my binder of 80+ stamps outside in the yard last Tuesday, and a storm blew in out of nowhere while I was on a job site. The pages are all stuck together and some of the older paper patterns are ruined... has anyone else salvaged a water-damaged collection like this, or am I just out of luck?

Freezing can make the paper more brittle. Try gently peeling them apart after they air dry completely instead.

My buddy froze his stamps to separate the pages.

Read somewhere that freezing can actually trap moisture in the paper. It might seem dry when it's frozen, but then it thaws and gets damp again. Maybe that's why they say to just let them air dry.
