Default Stuck stamps

I have an old album that must have gotten damp because many of the mint
stamps are stuck to the pages. Anyone have any ideas on how to get them
un-stuck without ruining the album and soaking the pages, and removing the
gum?

Thanks Joe

Some have suggested freezing as a way of separating gummed stamps.
I haven't been able to make it work, but it's worth a try.
Otherwise, some folks collect unused stamps without gum.
