Album glued to matting questions

I was bidding on an album and it appears that it has been glued to the matting and the 1/4 " backing of the frame. 

1. How much does this devalue album if any

2. Is there a way to remove and fix this?

It will be as good as stuffed.

It would be needed to sent to a proffessinal restorer. This is the risk of buying framed items , framers can be ruthless, they see a poster and they want to glue it down. We should call them adhesive world framers. Devalued the item defenitly

How much is it devalued?  50% or what?  If the autographs are good, wouldn’t it still be desirable?
