They look a lot nicer w/o the coating, but to sit there and pull them off of hundreds of cards would drive me insane. Plus over the years, I have discovered that they're a little more difficult to remove than back in the day.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916244525704951667.post-73474097552825680922014-07-22T21:14:04.329-04:002014-07-22T21:14:04.329-04:00I have some and yes, they tend to bow a bit.

I think you'll be pleased at how much better looking the cards are once that covering is gone.flywheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404740580161509052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916244525704951667.post-75915971151541792652014-07-22T14:13:11.828-04:002014-07-22T14:13:11.828-04:00I rip it off for the exact same reason Jeff said. ...I rip it off for the exact same reason Jeff said.

I have others that were removed long ago.<br /><br /> I don't think the coating effects the sale price any, or it shouldn't maybe some sellers try to tweak their price up if they still have the coating just for the "Brand New Never Used" (New Old Stock) sort of idea thing. Well more because they are too greedy.CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916244525704951667.post-23856860555431464212014-07-22T10:21:11.298-04:002014-07-22T10:21:11.298-04:00I've never pulled the protective coating.

They can be tricky to get off but it does make the card look better in my opinion. I guess since the Finest cards are printed on the same chromium stock that Chrome is, they could be prone to bowing a bit. I can't remember if any of mine had a serious problem like 2010 Topps Chrome.Ryan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797481743677208484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916244525704951667.post-48763052398939152122014-07-22T08:40:56.055-04:002014-07-22T08:40:56.055-04:00FWIW, I tear the protective covering off those car...FWIW, I tear the protective covering off those cards if I am storing them in a binder and especially if they are staying in my collection. The one concern you might have is whether that protective coating has adhered somewhat to the card front. I had that happen on one of the 15 or 20 that I had.<br /><br />As for bowing, I haven't seen all that many Finest, but they seemed to bow a little bit.<br /><br />Hope that helps.Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.com
