most older stock sticks anything with a glossy finish that sits shrink wrapped for almost 20 years will stick

Yes, I remember buying those back in the day, and yes they had problems with the cards sticking together. Also for me when they were stored (as sets in a cardboard box), they all got stuck together, so often I would find the UV coating pulled off on the back of the card infront of it, or part of the foil would pull off.

Sometimes I think the UV coating would also be bubbly / a little rough.

These were actually quite sticky way back in 97.

I opened a box of 96/97 srs 2 around 2004 and it was a bit sticky, a lot were missing foil from the front.

I would still bust this stuff at the right price but it could be money down the drain.

Not much you can do about it.

One thing i do with all nineties stuff is this - before opening the pack, first flex it (not too much) then tap both the bottom and top on a hard surface. This seperates all cards. 1992-93 upper deck international had the same sticking issue.
